Just voted in my super-Jewish and grad-studenty neighborhood in Pittsburgh. No wait at all. Only signs outside my polling place (the JCC, of course) were Romney/Ryan and "Support Israel? Fire Obama."
Well, I mean, that’s what it is. I doodoo and then listen to Katy Perry.

Long lines in Arlington: In line at the Central Library at 6:00, didn't vote until 7:15. Waited longer this time than in 2008.

this morning i voted and my exit poll had 9 of us in a row (all family members) this morning voting for Romney, and 1 (my mom) voting for Obama : I have a 10 person minimum for my polling - that seems like a 90/10 ratio for me so at this point I feel comfortable calling PA for Romney. I feel a lot more comfortable now.
on a serious note : I would like to thank Paul for not going nuts the past month with all of these threads : he deserves some credit.

Anecdotal in VA from co-workers. Long lines in Loudon County, short lines in Arlington.
The Arlington report conflicts with DTMoney121's post above, I realize.

Proudly cast my vote for John Maher for Auditor General. #change
Also listened to a guy ahead of me in line talk about how he is part of an organization that wants to build man-made islands out in the ocean and start their own country that won't have all of the problems we have here in America.

My polling place in DC had 1 operational paper balloting machine. 0 operational electronic machines. Waited about 45 minutes and the line was easily double what I waited in when I left.
When I handed the lady my ID to sign in she said "we've been instructed not to look at any forms of identification, all we need is your name"

Crazy experience in Falls Church. Whoever divided up the alphabet A-G, H-O, and P-Z should be shot. The P-Z guy spent an hour with his finger up his Ass laughing at how absurd the setup was which was extremely annoying. A-G went pretty fast and H-O took an hour. This setup was the poster child for why you cant trust Government to do anything right..

Could be my location specifically (between Ballston and VA Square, dense area), but seeing FB posts of the line wrapping around the library parking lot. People waited 75 minutes and still were in lines 250 people deep. Also seeing 2 hour lines at W&L HS.
Five working machines at my location.

I was voter number 85 at about 7:15 this morning in Shorewood WI (just north of Milwaukee). We had about 15 voting booths for our paper ballots in a smaller precinct (about half the village votes where I did).
Have to say I let the world down and did not cast my vote for Nimrod Y.U. Allen III for Senator.

I don't get this. When I vote in MD all they ask is your name, address - and this time, month and year of birth - no written proof of ID requested. Seems like a system open to fraud.

hey Republicans if you are sad because Romney is going to lose today take some satisfaction in knowing that if you believe in the Multiverse theory Romney wins too!

There's no chance that Q5 in Maryland fails, right? Will the sheeple just blindly vote yes to the new districts?

So what time do we start hearing third-hand stories about machines not working in black precincts and/or black panthers intimidating white precincts?

So can we unban viper if Obama wins?

Per my PMs, he's already unleashed 80 gallons of civic pride today in North Carolina.
I won't spoil who he voted for, since the confidentiality of the ballot box AND the PM Inbox are sacred.
