Wow!!! I went early to vote, I was there at 6:30 when it opened!! The line was LOOOOOOOOOOOOONg and I was smiling!:-):-):-):-)

That means we are ROCKING the vote like mad! A lot of people my age were there (even some dudes with doo rags on they heads!) Yiah Baybee!! We are doing it yall!

Three people got challenged while I was there, but don't worry (in Ohio at least) if you are challenged, you STILL have the right to vote. You have to vote provisionally. And I found out that provisional ballots (in my precinct anyways) are the only ballots that will use punch cards (those that produce the infamous hanging chads, and pregnant chads!) the rest of us voted electonically!

Get out and vote yall. Let's Do Dis!!!

I got out early like you A_womon...tried to arrive by the time the polls opened and voted in about 1.5 hours (which was very good indeed). The line was long and continued to grow as we waited. People who's name was not on the list were allowed to use provisional ballots. There were very few pollworkers so things inside went pretty slow with only one person handing out the voting cards, but overall it was all good and well worth it, plus i really enjoyed meeting and talking with people while waiting in line...it's funny, we all seemed so happy to be there, I just hope we aren't disappointed. And yes, I was hearing about Ohio woes this morning....i hope that doesn't stop anyone from voting.

Hey Sisg,

I think they are mostly targeting people who are afraid or not used to questioning authority, like the elderly who may unfortunately, have to be there by themselves. Overall, it is like you say here, people are now (its about 4pm) are having a 3 hour wait, and it is raining, but people are still voting!! So Im only a little ticked that they are still trying to be shady in this republican state!!

Good to hear from you Sisg, you are sorely missed!!

I went to the polls in mid-morning. Not crowded, but a steady stream of people coming and going. I found it really funny that there was not one Republican sign anywhere. They were all for Kerry and Edwards and the local Democrats. Even the people distributing literature were handing out nothing but Democratic stuff. Of course, my polling place is in an all-black neighborhood.

Hi, Sisgal, I missed ya, too. You showed up just in the nick of time. You're so good at defusing siutations. >>wink-wink<<

Hi Sisgal

I was winking because everyone else was doing it *smile*.

I am doing fine. I've been waiting for the IRS to give me a holler but THEY seem to have forgotten about me **wink**.

Yeah, Rookie, it's dumb-assed Bush clones like you who put your thick-skulled leader back into office because, like him, you are unable to think for yourselves. So just scurry on over there with the rest of the sheep and hide from Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction. Stick close together so you won't be harmed by those terrible gay people who want to get married. And don't forget those dangerous folks who want to give others a chance at life through stem cell research. Huddle there in a crowd so you'll be safe from the insurgents who want America out of their country. Put on your dumb smirks so your faces will look the the clown who has done what no Arab leader has been able to do: unite the Muslim terrorists. While your trembling there, cheer yourself up by conjuring up the image of a smiling Genna and Barbara Bush? And why wouldn't they be grinning? They'll never be put in harm's way over there in Iraq. And the next time you check the prices at your gas pump, filling up on your way to the NASCAR races, observe a minute of silence for your president. I'm glad he's not my leader. You can have him and that crew of imperilistic facists and religious zealots who are taking over this country.

Cynique,

Well done! And Bravo!

Although, I think it is time we all (non-Blacks included) embrace the fact that it is been clearly exclaimed to us that we are "pilgrims in an 'unholy' land".

Glad everybody sees things my way. But I have a feeling that "Rookie" didn't bother to read my rant.
