No problems in Easton

I just voted on College Hill. The line was pretty short compared to what I've seen on TV in Philly and Florida. Challengers were standing outside the polling place, so no intimidation. (Though I think my KE04 shirt told them I wouldn't be intimidated. Ha!)

2. Heavy turnout in north Bethlehem

Hi -

Went to vote this morning at 8:00 - had to wait in line for half an hour. I was something like voter 200 when normally I'm voter 20 or so.

No one here in this district ever remembers waiting in line like we had to do. There were maybe 100 people and the line went all the way out to the parking lot.

Don't know what it's going to mean, but I'll always remember this election.

Just talked to my wife. She's in line to vote now. Two hours later and there's still a line of 75 people or so waiting to vote!

4. Springtown.....

just south of Bethlehem (southwest of Easton) is a tiny rural village. I usually vote first thing, and probably was the 11th or 12th voter. When I went to vote this morning at 8 a.m., I was the 100th voter. The poll workers said the turnout was incredible.
Do you feel the changes coming?

7. Just voted in the 11th ward....

Turnout was VERY good, I waited about 25 minutes, normal wait is under 10. The mood outside was definitely very pro-Dem!

Joe Driscoll was even there greeting voters (far enough away from the polling place itself to not break any laws). I offered him my heartfelt thanks for showing up, and my best wishes.
