My mom works next to a major library in Miami-Dade county and she says the line is down the strreet at at about 7:45. People are blocking their yards off with ropes so voters won't park on them when the library runs out of spaces. It's been insane, but I'm really glad that they are out voting. I would have never expected those types of lines in that area, but I guess the people are very adamant about not being disenfranchised this year. People have waited until 10pm or later out here in S. Florida trying to get those votes in!

How come the government in Florida said that ALL voting must take place in public government locations--i.e. schools, libraries, etc.? Or was that misnomer I picked up from the news stations...

And, for fun... you can personalize this to anybody you want, preferably an Obama supporter, to encourage them to vote. It's hilarious:

Ours are always in public government locations, mainly schools but I've also had a fire station as a polling place. What other types of places are used elsewhere?

The Rev. Wright ads are running rampant all of a sudden here in Detroit.

Ours always used to be at the village hall, but the village is so big now (over 10,000) that they split up the wards and now the north side of town is at the Catholic church and the south side is at Village Hall. There was a big kerfluffle in the next village over because the polling place got moved to a Lutheran church because their village hall didn't have enough parking and some man got mad that the church handed out cookies during the primary.

With the election less than 3 full days away, I thought we should have a thread discussing the process of voting, problems, and finally, FINALLY, it coming to a close.

Just asking... My state does not have early voting, but absentee... I voted by absentee--so I don't know what happens:

In early voting, is your "ballot" counted right there and then and is in the "pool" of recorded votes/polling?
