Props to Jackpine Radical for being my ears during the WI recall.

Here is one thread, but many have been posted. We feel your pain, and I thank you, my friend!

"It's just nuts around here today."

I voted by absentee ballot a week ago but went to see how things are going at my polling place. I've never seen the like. It's one of those country town halls. There are cars parked on both sides for 2 blocks in each direction. This was at 10:30 in the morning, long after the normal "morning rush" hours. 800 people had already voted. The poll workers were improvising a way to speed up the line by letting the last half of the alphabet in through a side door & a second intake process. I overheard one of the twp's road crew outside saying "It's just nuts around here today."

Thbis road normally carries about 1 vehicle every 10 minutes.
