Edited on Tue Oct-26-10 08:54 PM by Maraya1969
I'm curious to see what it is like on election day and whether this was a fluke of people coming in early to beat the lines, (HA!).

It wasn't that it was poorly set up either. There were about 9 people giving out the ballots and you went to one when your number was called. It was in the 20'2 when I got there and my number was 86.

Most of the people were white, middle or upper middle class, middle age or seniors.


I hope a big turn out helps the Dems.

EDIT: To add that it was in Fort Myers which is SW Florida. And I think this is the 2nd biggest early election site in town but I'm not sure.

How does that typically play out in Florida? Repub or Dem?

Well, you did your part one way or the other!

5. That's why I like to vote by mail.
I doubt that I will ever vote in person again.
