Please post your observations about turnout in your precinct
and any information you have about how things are going in your state- problems with machines, relative turnout of dems and repugs, etc. It's really interesting even if it is just anecdotal.

1. In Springfield missouri
I was 89 th vote at my polling location 8:15 am. It had arrows pointing to the Candide's and I completed the arrow pointing to Obama. Clinton was first on the ballet, obama 2nd followed by others. A optical machine scanned my vote card and kept in the container.

3. There were about 4 people voting
at my location. It's fast sign your name, get a ballet, vote for one person, and leave. Maybe thats why.

4. At 7:00 I saw about 75 people - in Georgia.
As far as I could tell there were no problems.

6. In and out in 5 minutes in the NW suburbs of Chicago.
Everything went smoothly.

No lines, but it is early.

13. Well, since you conveinently don't have that info in your profile
and I don't have a crystal ball, how the fuck should I know where it is you polute? I made an assumption that you were in a state that had some relevance today. Thanks for clearing that up. Now I know your state is as irrelevant as you are.

10. 64th voter at 7:35 in Shorewood, IL
That's very impressive in my neck of the woods. It will be a huge turnout for Shorewood if all of our polling places are doing that good. No problems with the opti-scan machines, though no comment on the counting.
