irishenglish BS: Lines at the Polls (70* d) RE: BS: Lines at the Polls 04 Nov 08


Despite our polling place being literally next door to us here in Manhattan, my wife and I decided to vote as early as we could. We got outside at 6:15, had a wait of a half an hour, followed by about 20 minutes further wait inside the voting rooms. It was a little hectic, but I will say that I had to run an errand for my boss today in another part of the city, where I passed another polling place. Line out the door. I also walk by another school/polling site in Brooklyn where I work, just now at mid-day-not quite around the block, but people waiting to get inside the building. Now folks are right about not being complacent. As an Obama supporter, I thought, my god, here in liberal NYC, lines are out the door. As an American, I am touched that for the first time in my life, we are seeing more people voting, whomever they choose.
