Just voted-Cincinnati-HUGE LINES!

I have never seen it this busy...others vocalized this as well, with a "Holy Shit" and "This is amazing" as the standard fare. I did not see any challengers, and even if they were there, they would have had a rough go of it, people were openly blasting on the chimp! LOL! I did see a middle-aged African-American woman and her son that were told they had to use a provisional ballot, they were visibly shaken and expressed concern over the ramifications of this and whether their vote would count.

1. What kind of people were there?

I know it's virtually impossible to tell just by looking at people but could you get some kind of sense from the crowd in general as to who they were there for? And is your neighborhood/precinct generally more conservative or liberal?

4. I live in a middle to lower middle-class neighborhood...

typically conservative, but racially diverse area. And the sense of the crowd was a clear "BYE BYE BUSH!".

3. Louisville turnout heavy too

The voting place was packed this morning... never seen it this way before. Also heard people commenting on the big turnout.

In Kentucky, we have the big Senate race as well as the "gay marriage" amendment.

6. I just voted in St. Matthews

There was about a 20-minute line. They did say that several people were lined up outside at 6AM. It's not the turnout that the swing states are seeing, but I'm proud that there will be a good turnout here.

I'm hearing predictions of mid-60's percent turnout in KY.

7. Perhaps the chimp is a uniter after all.

He's united enough people to send him back to the pig farm.
