pixiecrinkleI've voted in the same polling place since I lived in Columbus, apart from one year. It happens that it is across the street from where I live currently, which is about as ridiculously easy as you can get.
Usually I'll go right after work, and maybe have 15 or 20 people in line in front of me. Never a line beyond the door of the tiny gym we vote in, which contains three voting machines for two precincts.
Today, I decided to try to go before work. Got there about 8:00 and could see through the doors that there was a line down the hall before the gym. Except that when I got inside, I realized it went out the opposite doors and halfway down the block.
Wild. I decided to get to work early and then take off early to try to beat the 5:00 rush. Though at least then I'll be able to stand in line in tennis shoes, rather than heels.
There are campaigners everywhere downtown too, standing on corners with signs. I saw a few for Bush yesterday, but none today. Maybe they're all serving as vote challengers. This is bizarre.
