I was #2709 @ 9:00a.m. today, Harnett County, NC! 4 More Years!

[IMG][/IMG]

Lots of people there, parking lot was full and vehicles were parked on the lawns with more people coming in constantly and consistently.

Inside is a waiting line that holds around 25 people, where the voting booths are holds another 15 or so people. Quite a few folks were registering and voting.

No signs of the True The Vote taliban!

Harnett County is red as red as can be, typical Fundie, RW, rural NC so pay us no mind!

As we left, there were even more people standing outside and traffic was beginning to back up on the side streets.

GOBAMA!

a question: What was the mood like and did you get the sense that the President was having a good turnout there?

This is a teabilly county that voted for Renee Ellmers (although I believe they're having regrets because suddenly she's not behaving teabilly enough).

people will outnumber the fart-stifling whites and your county will go blue.
