Just voted. I was #41.
Also, a little somethin' somethin' for you folks. Nate Silver, as of 10:10 a.m. ET today, projected Obama's chances of victory at 90.9%. http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes...r/nate-silver/ |

Ok, how many think tonight's outcome will be final vs. being declared after a recount?

I worked long and hard today, came home, dropped my rent check to the manager just so I could ask her where the exact location was I needed to vote at...with that said, I found it, voted and am happy it's a done deal for me.

It is weird and a bit disturbing to see how different it is to vote in various parts of the country. Here, there is no id requirement - they check your name off on the way in and on the way out. No need to prove who you are. There are no restrictions r.e. bumper stickers or clothing or political buttons for people just there to vote. Those who are out to stomp for candidates tho have to be several hundreds of feet from the entrance to the building. Much more relaxed and welcoming to vote here.

Here you go folks - Election Map
Folks are voting in FL! Traffic backed up for miles to turn in ballots and people waiting in line for blocks to vote! Romney has the edge 49/48. Polls close in less than 2 hours here ! I'm glad I'm home today and not dealing with traffic getting anywhere and drunks tonight at work. Currently Republicans have casted more votes in CO. A small village in NH, population of 10, all voted together and results were 50/50. Victims of Sandy are still getting out to vote and some using flashlights. Horrible but at least they are getting it done! In PA, a voting machine was taken out of service for flipping votes of Obama to Romney. Obama, "We have come to far to turn back now; finish what we started." Romney, "Tomorrow we begin a new tomorrow." Current toss ups include: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. Election freebies in your area? Here they are giving away free pizzas, organic tea and a Indivisible bracelet from Starbucks. |

thank you for the link ruff! it's super helpful. i haven't had a chance to look for results yet.
had a patient today who was two hours late for her appointment because she had to vote. i can't imagine what people are going through to vote right now. i was reading an article about a man in a nursing home who literally died and got cpr while voting and woke up and the first thing he asked before the ambulance took him away was if he finished voting (he did). i heard on the radio while on the bus about folks in staten island who are going through all kinds of crazy shit to be able to vote even with the horrific storms. i am so so grateful that i was able to mail in my ballot a couple of weeks ago and so so grateful for every person who is going through so much to be able to vote today. i don't get all teary and patriotic much - i'm pretty conflicted about being teary and patriotic in general - but this definitely makes me feel a sense of connection and gratitude with other people in this country. |
