32. Voted in TN today
Edited on Wed Oct-22-08 08:38 PM by politicasista
Here in red state TN (actually Blue Davidson County).

Didn't experience vote flipping from D to R (not surprising this is happening. :()

However, the ballot was only 2 pages, but the font size is really, really small. So small that one needs glasses (I had some) to read the ballot. The candidates' names are too close together and McCain/Palin's names are slightly bigger than Obama/Biden's (which was listed first on the ballot). I had to proofread (or re-read) the ballot three times before touching VOTE. That's how small it is.

Turnout was steady (this was the after-work crowd) and didn't have to wait in a long line. In fact, it only took 15-17 minutes.

Other than that, it was a good experience. Lots of diverse people coming out. Not bad for a conservative area of Nashville. :)
