Ohio update

I'm actually in line waiting to vote. Well not really, I went and got my ticket with a number on it and then I came home to change out of my suit and get some breakfast (it's a two minute walk.) The wait is an hour and a half. I passed friends coming out on my way in and they said they waited two hours. I've never had to wait at all before. This is phenomenal. The rain is not dissuading anyone.

1. Voted in west side of Cleveland...

Heart of Kucinich district...line inside, but moving fairly quickly. Lots more people than usual. I live in with a big hispanic and arabic population, actually pretty well-mixed, and it looks reallly good. No voter intimidation or anything like it. I had to sign my name twice, however, which I never had to do before. In addition to the big contest, there is also an anti-gay marriage proposition on the ballot which I hope is handily defeated, but I'm not holding my breath, even in Cleveland.

West side Cleveland suburb. No lines but more crowded than I've ever seen it here.
