Took me two to vote this morning (Florida)
I have never in my life waited this long to vote in an election. Turnout today will be unprecedented.

1. What was the crowd like?
Could you make an educated guess about their political persuasions?

6. Yeah, let's just hope they're counted!!
I've been hearing some really inspiring stories about first time voters in FLA. Thanks to any Floridians who are doing their part to thwart the * administration's efforts to steal the election again!:)

10. Depending on the precinct , 50/50 in SW Florida is great news .
* needs to come out of Lee , Collier , Charlotte , Sarasota and Manatee counties with sizable majorities . I checked on my precinct this am and was told by the Kerry volunteers that voting was heavy . It is a Republican area but they said that there were plenty of Dems . I am about to start my GOTV calls .
GO KERRY ! TAKE BACK AMERICA !

7. Wow - I am just south of you - In Collier 45% voted early or
absentee. I am on call for voting rights issues for 15 precincts. I visited them all this morning, the lines were forming as early as 6:20, by the time the polls opened the lines were at least 50- 100 people deep at all the precincts.

9. I just tried to vote, thinking it would be a low time, but the line
was too long! I'll go back a bit later. The turnout is huge. The weather is perfect here in Northern VA.
