I voted last night in Ruskin - there was a 2 1/2 hour line. Felt great to finally be able to vote for Kerry. I saw 2 other people around me wearing the yellow bracelet (I know it has other meanings, but I was hopeful it meant Kerry in this instance)
This morning at the polling place across from my kids' school, there was a very long line (probably 1 1/2 to 2 hours) I live in a republican neighborhood. If I had to guess I would say this neighborhood (6000 people) is probably 75% repub and 25% dem.
I heard several comments about not caring about the length of the line because this time your vote matters.
Just voted at a church. Got there 20 minutes before the poll opened. By 7 there were no more parking spaces, very long line. Started to talk to the gal behind me who was also voting Kerry. Heard a poll worker exclaim she's never seen anything like it. There was a Kerry-Edwards table there giving out donuts. Nothing Bush. Leaving in a few minutes to work for Kerry. Just hoping all these people are out because we need a change!
The reason I voted last night is so I can get over to Tampa this afternoon and volunteer at the GOTV event. I have to wait for my husband to vote though, which he is doing now. He watched the kids last night while I voted and I will watch our youngest while he does.
