Okay - I have been trying to stay in a positive frame of mind....
but THIS JUST IN:

Philadelphia, PA - machines breaking down in several districts.
Columbus, OH - machines breaking down, people leaving.

And if anybody thinks that the fact that these are two swing states is just a coincidence, I got a bridge to sell ya.

I'm skeeeeered. :scared:

1. People were leaving from my polling station
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 10:05 AM by turtlensue
Because the LINES WERE SO LONG. I'm pretty sure they are coming back later in the day though.
I wouldn't worry about it.

Those are also some large districts. I would say that having some machines break down is normal..The more machines the more likely some are going to malfunction. People leaving probably has more to do with wanting to be at work on time and being unwilling to wait any longer in the long lines. I would think most will go back.
If its any comfort to you..employers like mine will give people 2 hours of leave to go vote as well...
