Largest Turnout I Have Ever Seen in My Lifetime Today
I am usually one of the first to vote at my polling spot each election.

I timed it to get there at 6:50 am - 10 minutes before the polls opened.

Well, the line started at 5:30 am. The line ran all the way out the door and around the building to the street.

I've never seen this before. It took me an hour and a half.

I know other places have a longer wait, but I never personally experienced this before.

Incredible.

Went to work and co-workers had similar stories.

Oh, and yes I voted a straight Dem Ticket from Obama all the way down to County Commissioner and University of Michigan and Michigan State Boards.

Very difficult to concentrate at work today!

1. Same thing in the Antelope Valley in So California -- astounding
We got there the moment the polls opened and we were the 103rd and 104th people in line. The line never shrank the entire time we were there. It was insane.

2. I'm in Michigan!
Suburban Detroit.

I think this is it!

And I regret not being able to take off of work today, but I couldn't.

3. Glad to hear my home state is turning out big time.
Should be Obama country, but no use taking any chances.

Going to watch the two contested Congressional district races closely to see if the Dems can throw the bums out.
