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.
I get tO leave and gO vOte nOw!!
hOOray!!
I have asked CobbleHilller to change (apparently a guy) his name.
I, cobblehiller, a girl, think I’ve been here longer. And feel much more entitled to the name…but whatever…
I was thinking about it cmu. Do you mean Working Families Party?
Biff, I ignore…take it to the other thread.
There’s a cobblehiller and a cobblehilller.
Explain it to me someone.
My wife had the same response, and I did have a certain queasyness as I popped it in the mailbox as is screamed on the envelope “ELECTION – APPSENTEE BALOT – IMPORTANT”.
I guess I have too much faith in the postal system
2:00 282…only 10 mins outside, and 20 inside, tho’ the checkin was so slow at least 1/2 that time there was no one in the booth! Good thing all you voted before me.
Unlike the What, I always feel a charge when I vote, I’m sure I have a silly smile on my face as I exit.
btw, anyone pulled the lever for O on the Worker’s Party ticket?
“there’s definitely a cathartic feeling one gets from pulling the big lever”
It gives such a satisfying “kathunk” sound.
I would just worry that a mailed in ballot wouldn’t necessarily be counted on Election Day. Or might ‘get lost’, etc. I’m paranoid and anxious about this election.
I could, but if you can fill out an absentee ballot and mail it in, why would you want to stand in line to vote?
Am I missing somethng?
