daughter and i voted on saturday
We waited in line for over three hours. Even though we live at the same address, she had to vote provisional ballot -- as more than a few other younger people.

Just an fyi, the obama lawyers are on site and are helping.

We are contesting this because when she updated her registration - we sent it federal express! A very good thing that we have come to realize. Her vote will count.

4. daughter's provisional ballot
Election people said that she had not registered in time with her updated information (she had).

We were advised that her provisional ballot would be counted since we have the receipt from federal express (being submitted to the election people today). So, we will see what happens on this one.

The other young people from what I could tell -- they (voting people) couldnt "find" their registration record.

The lawyer was there and helping the other young people so that they would not have to vote provisional.

7. We are hoping
that Susan Pynchon wins. There were many people handing out literature for Susan while we were there.

The really phenomenal thing about this voting experience -- all the obama - democratic party people were very positive, handing out water to those in line vs the repugs -- in your face, repulsive and no water.

Crowds of people would gather in front of the Obama table vs no gathering in front of the mcsame/moosalini table.
