3. That's my opinion on it, all they have to do is say it's leaked on the internet to justify calling

states before they close, and once one does it they all do it.

4. We all know he's going to win California and yet today I stood in the longest line
... I've ever stood in outside of Disneyland.

Trust me, California is voting.

14. Because we don't trust the system
That is why

Someday we might just do it, once I start believing absentee ballots are actually counted or I have no choice

5. Californians are voting
I have been voting at the same place for the past 15 years and have never seen a line. This morning I passed by my polling place and the line was down the street. I went back at 1:30pm and there was still a line but much shorter.

Every polling place I passed had long lines early this morning and this afternoon.

No one I know is planning on skipping the vote!!!:patriot: :bounce:

8. The great majority of people are smart enough and energized enough to vote....
Even if the election is called early. There are too many down ticket races at stake not to vote.

13. I already did
I'd so love it if the election were over by 4:00. I'd love to go home from working knowing that things will be okay.
