If there are still long lines at the polls on Tuesday night when it is time to close,
are we ready to stand up and collectively shout that this democratic process ain't over till its over?

3. Somehow I had the notion that everyone in line at closing time got to vote...
I might just be making that shit up, though.

4. In Wisconsin,
everyone who is in line by 8:00 is entitled to vote. An Election Official should stand at the end of the line as a 'marker,' and to ensure the integrity of the process.

5. When I see the early voting with the long lines, it will be a very long day
in Michigan with our 1-day voting.

6. I checked on the lines today in Broward County, Florida - After two full weeks of early voting,
Waits still ranged from 2.5 hours to 4.5 hours!

A high turnout number for Obama in this bluest county in FL would secure the state.

But It is not over...I will be driving more Obama voters to early vote tomorrow AM.

Fired up, ready to go!!!

See you at the top folks :)
