I VOTED!
Extremely light turnout at 8:30am in my precinct. Hopefully, people will turn out and deny EOR even a metaphorical victory.

There was a Kerry sign - nothing from the EOR campaign.

Filled in that oval with extreme care.

4. I wish I could of voted for him
but the vote that I cast for him twice (primary and general) in '04 will always be the best votes I ever casted.

Some pics from today in Boston on JK's way to vote and after.











Teddy after casting his vote in Hyannis, he looks very good in this pic.

7. I VOTED!
:-)

Went home specially at lunch on the T. I'm wearing a JK t-shirt today and many buttons, so I put on a huge black cardigan so I could get into the polling place legally and then took it off when I came out again!

It felt REALLY good to vote for him and I can't wait to do it again in November.

The pictures are EXCELLENT -- thanks, Tay and Fedup!

9. Well, it was about 2:15, I think, and there were only two of us
Edited on Tue Sep-16-08 02:51 PM by Luftmensch067
Both from my street.

I hope turnout has been better other times today or that everyone will vote on the way home.

I'm glad GV and others are doing phonecalls to GOTV today -- I've been shocked to talk to a few people who had no idea there was a primary today.

Btw, kickass interview on WBZ -- I'm listening now, thanks to your link. Good to hear you're doing the hard work of transcribing!! (oops, I got mixed up -- I see you linked to this in your comment at Beachmom's excellent Kos diary: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/16/1312/93831)

12. I just voted in EOR's supposed boyhood hometown
Fairly heavy turnout at 3:45 pm (no lines, but busy). There's an unexpectedly contested state rep. election (complicated, since the local state rep just resigned at the 11th hour to take up some post in Patrick administration, so it's a 100% write-in slot), which may explain the numbers of voters today.

I want JK to squash EOR like a bug.

16. My first MA election!
I got to vote for JK in Somerville yesterday. It felt great to vote for him for the 2nd time in my life (I didn't vote for him in the 2004 primary because I had no idea who he was, and anyway he was already projected to win Michigan easily, so I voted for Dean to protest how Dean had been abused by the media).

18. Thank you to everyone for the votes!
They are deeply appreciated.

I will write more about election day later on today. (Still wiped-out tired, right now.)

But things went great. Everyone is very happy today and glad the primary is over. Happy, but tired.
