| Actually, voted for Obama 2 weeks ago. My personal experience was that early voting in NC was well done and an improvement over '08. The line was not quite as long as it was in '08 (stood in line for 2.5 hours then) and I was finished in 50 minutes. The setup was better, but it could also be that there were no ballot initiatives. I think there were 3-4 in '08. |

Florida was a complete mess, we had 13 state ballot initiatives. Seriously, like 3 long paper-ballot pages (like 18 inch long pages maybe?) worth of them! Plus some for individual counties or cities. No wonder the lines were so long at early voting...
I'm pretty confident a good many voters couldn't even understand what some of them were proposing. I looked it them up and wrote down what I wanted to vote beforehand, but if I hadn't known, it would have taken a while to parse all of that. And I thought it was not written simply enough for the general population.

By the way, I'm sure this poll will work perfectly fine if the verbs are changed to past tense.Originally posted by Machi4velli

The only polling stations I know of in Virginia are in elementary schools and county government centers. |

Ohio likes Churches.
Obama is a thug, Romney is well, Romney, and they've created a system that shuts everyone else out that isn't vetted by the plutocracy. There are people demonstrating in some places by burning voter registration cards, but I just went in with my wife and waited while she voted, and left, so it wasn't much of a protest. First time I didn't vote in the presidential since I started in 1972. I think Obama and Nixon were the only two that I voted for that won. I think Nixon was probably to the left of Obama. |

| Of course the reporting is all over the place. First there were line where people waited hours when they first opened. Then midday no lines. People being turned away for no ID's in Pennsylvania the pony show is on. |

Mostly. But here in Baguio, Philippines, people think that with Obama's election, he will tax companies that outsource call centers overseas. Lots of call center employees in this, a small city that specializes in English. (Many Koreans in particular come here for the most inexpensive place to learn the language.)
Just an example of how every common-sense statement finds contradictions in the real world.
