Just got back from running errands and passed several polling places....

No lines, no waiting seemed to be the order of the day. We went out around 11 a.m. and came back by our own polling place at 1:30. Again, no lines, few cars in the parking lot. (We've already voted so we didn't go inside...strictly going by cars in the parking lot.)

I know the story is that Repubs vote on Election Day (traditionally) so maybe this is a good sign if they are not out in large numbers??? We are in the heart of Romney country here in NW FL. Lots and lots of Romney signs in our neighborhood. So you'd think the polling places in our blood red county would be slammed with Repubs. Maybe later today after 5? Not sure what to think.

Anybody else noticing the same thing? I know that areas where they have suppressed early voting are probably seeing lots of Dems. Hope so!!!
