I never heard of polling places being closed at 3PM before, but it happened in Miami-Dade county. They did allow those in line to vote, but some didn't finish until 8PM.
   The interesting thing is that folks were sticking it out! There is little doubt that much of the heavy turnout is Democrats anxious to avoid another debacle like 2000, and not much doubt that Republican election officials are trying to limit damage as best they can....but long line will also discourage some Republican voters - and maybe those who are already discouraged at the projections.

Karl Rove is right to be worried.... the attempt he helped design to ensure Republican control in perpetuity is foundering on the detritus of its own false premises....namely, that "you can fool enough of the folks all the time to keep power no matter how much greed & corruption shows around the edges."

I hope Rove appreciates while he is still alive what a sad place in history he will occupy.
