Very light turnout in my polling place (Riverside County, CA)

There were plenty of parking places at the library...I got a plce right next to the door, in fact.

Walked right up to the table.. no ID asked for.. voted, and was back in my car in less than 5 minutes.:)

Afterwards, I went to a little Mom & Pop store that I buy cigarettes at, and they have an informal "poll" going.. I always enjoy these people.. The Grandma & Grandpa are from Greece (don't speak English at all)..Dad is from Greece too, but married a woman from Guatemala.

Their daughter married a Korean guy.. So you can see that they ARE the melting pot that the US claims to be..

anyway.. about their poll..

The daughter had a chalkboard with tic marks for Kerry & Bush, and they are asking people who go in the store which one they voted for..They are marking the tally when people tell them that they HAVE voted.

Kerry 56...Bush 7...:)

Thanks.

and commented that I hoped his business picked up..

He laughed and said that some people refused to tell him, and some said they were not even voting.. So I think some of the repubes here are a bit demoralized..and may not even vote :)

I hope Californians are voting.

Cute story. Doesn't surprise me..... Greeks live for talking politics. :)

Which is good. We're going to have to learn to open up more about our political thoughts, if we want to regain our country.

Greeks tend to *love* their political discussions!

So, did you get some feta and calamata olives? :)

Opa!

Kanary

a while back.. World Cup. I think?? He had his Greek flag hung on the wall.. The daughter's little by is the cutest little guy, and TRI lingual at 2 1/2..

good thing. It could be that a lot of Republicans who don't want to vote for Kerry, won't vote for Bush again either, so they are just staying away and not voting. Keep your fingers crossed.

I know that there were 2-hour long lines in Culver City and Pasadena on Friday, right up until the point where the polls closed.

They sound like a great family
