WTMJ Channel 4 (one of the largest TV channels in our area) has just announced record breaking numbers for registration of new voters. Of the voters, one in ten were new. Of the new voters, one in five were African-American and one in five were Hispanic. These exit polls indicate an extremely high voter turnout for OBAMA...I am almost delirious with happiness over this news, since Milwaukee's minority populations have traditionally stayed home. It looks like OBAMA brought them to the voting booths, FINALLY!

1. I live in a small city in a rural county in WI

and I couldn't believe the stack of new voter registrations here. I was voter #1013 at 5:00pm here...that's a LOT of voters in a city with a population of 3500.

2. You're right...

they are still standing in lines wrapped around our central voting center and cars are pouring into the parking lot...it's absolutely awesome to see it! I voted early and was ballot #1000 on LAST Monday. Our City Clerk said she has never seen this many early voters in her 24 yrs. as clerk! Just unbelievable!
