Long Lines, Everywhere
Already, Flickr folks are posting photos, and even this video, of long lines at the polls, all across Brooklyn. In Park Slope, the line stretched out even before the booths opened at 6AM. Bring coffee. Prepare to wait. Where did you vote? How long did it take? Any problems? Video by wnyc.
“How ’bout “cobblehiller_got_first_dibs”? Well, she does, actually :-)”
bxgrl, that’s certainly less controversial and more realistic than “cobblehiller_got_DIBS_first”!
How ’bout “cobblehiller_got_first_dibs”? Well, she does, actually 🙂

Wascally wabbit!
hey hey hey, BRG, I’m not forcing him! I only said that I feel entitled! Which, of course, is arguably no reason whatsoever!
You, you, rabble-rouser you!
CobbleHilller, why not switch it to bayridgegir1?
What about Cobblehilller…you should start a thread in the forum and we can all recommend a new name for you.

2 Toilets, I voted at IS 62 on Coretelyou as well. I usually vote at PS 139 on Rugby though. There are also polling sites on Marlborough at Caton and Marlborough at Cortelyou. I literally walked in voted and walked out. That was about 10:30 this morning.
I notice that the voters did not reflect the diversity of this end Flatbush. I would think that it is because many of the residents out here are not U.S. citizens. Areas like Bed-Stuy have large southern Black and Puerto Rican populations who are voting in record numbers whereas Flatbush has a lot of Blacks from the Caribbean, Latinos from Mexico, Central and South America many of who are not citizens.
I voted over at PS 270 in Clinton Hill. Got there at 8am and waited for about an hour and a half to vote. They sent me to the wrong district line where I waited for about 20 mins before I started getting suspicious. This is NOT the first time this has happened to me here and it’s really getting annoying. When I voted in the primaries they sent me to THREE different lines- I mean, come ON guys! Now my district is permanently in my head…
