Kansas City - I voted right after 6 a.m. and

the parking lot was already full. We are using paper ballets. Everything was very calm. But a huge turnout should be good for Democrats here.

1. Paper ballots in Kansas City??

I surprised or are you way out in the burbs? We've never had paper here in Wichita since I've been voting which dates back to 1972.

2. We used to have machines.

We had paper ballots and a special pencil to fill in the dots. No hanging chads that way. We only had two voter booths so people were just sitting on the floor and writing up against the walls.

And I live right in the middle of the city in Clay County - North of the River.

3. in Brookside...

at 8:30 the line is beginning to dwindle...we use punch cards (check for chads!)

4. I think a lot of the early people were there so they could

vote before going to work. Lines will pick up again a little later.

5. Actually it's slowed but still steady...

2 hours later and the wait is still 20 min....talk about GOTV!
