I guess this is going to be the election that actually gets people here to actually vote. As to the guy who waited to find out he was in the wrong polling place, I have no sympathy. There are all kinds of sources to consult as to where your proper polling place is, local newspapers, county registrar, League of Women Voters etc. I have voted in 3 states so far and they all provided information on where to vote to the excess. Heck, both parties will come to your home and take you to the right place if asked. Your voter registration should tell you what district/precinct you are in, and then a simple consultation of the paper or county registrar etc. will give the information out. He could have also asked when he arrived at the door. Gene Got to the polling place at 7:05 and got done voting at 8:40! People were very nice to each other. I was not happy with the lack of planning on the part of the election officials. One guy just ahead of me waited the same 90 minutes only to be told that he was in the wrong precinct. He looked mad but left without saying anything. The election folks did a poor job of organizing things and I fear that this will discourage folks from voting. Next years it's absentee voting for me. Vote Early and Vote Often ernie nitka _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
