Arrived at Gahanna Senior Center around 7:40a, was out by 7:50a. Well staffed, friendly, no lines, well organized polling location.

Peace United Methodist Church, Pickerington Ohio. 3 different precints voting at this location. The 3 different lines were NOT marked (but the tables were...however when people are stadning in front of the table signing that book, you CAN'T SEE THE SIGNS) so NO ONE knew where to go. Most people didn't know what precint they're in. They had a map of the city...with no street names. Worker claimed someone didn't show up. 4 machines in my precint area...2 not working. Mass chaos. Ridiculous.

I voted this morning in Knox County - Mount Vernon at 6:45 a.m. I was the only person at the location and was in and out in less than five minutes. Poll workers were friendly and helpful. Great experience all around!

Precinct COLS-18C, Columbus Community of Christ church, 235 E Tompkins: 5 machines for over 1,000 voters. Lines were 10 minutes long at 6:31am. Only two poll workers, one per registration book. One poll worker told me: "Wow. I've never even seen a Republican registration before. Do we even offer that? Ha. Ha. I'll have to look up how to fill that out." She spoke with a snide, derisive tone; sneering facial expression; and extra-loud voice compared to her voice with all others. Nice lib bigotry.

Got to my polling place at 6:25 - Prarie Township Fire Department on Hubbard Road - about thirty people in line. They began signing us in at 6:30 sharp and I was out by 6:40. The line had grown to about 40. In ten years of voting there, I've never experienced a line at all.

I voted at 6:30 am at the Great Commission Bible Church. There were no lines and no problems, other than the doors were locked and unless someone let you in you were left outside waiting to get in. On our way out my husband and I let in a few people and then propped the door open with a flower pot.

I voted for Barack Obama and I was happy to do so.

Just curious. Thanks.

only the side.

When I got a paper ballot....she asked me "Democrat or Republican?" I replied Dem and she said that she hadn't had one Repub, yet. The tablets for Dems were stacked, whereas the Repubs had one tablet.

are black, student, military? Are they suburban? Urban? Rural?

Fingers crossed for Ohio!
