Just Voted in Virginia (8:00 am est) Looks like a big turn out

[FSogol]

Usually there is no line in a non-presidential election. Electronic machine functioned properly (WinVote) and saw no irregularities. There were Democratic and Republican observers present. Go Kaine.

[soothsayer]

1. Where in Virginny are you? I'm in Arlingtron

[FSogol]

5. I'm in Burke (its next to Fairfax) n/t

[soothsayer]

9. I'll head out soon. I'm expecting a low turnout but who knows?

[soothsayer]

36. Done and done! I was number 350 (or was it 305?) in the L-Z line

at around 10:10

[Perky]

31. Fairfax here as well

Live in the Penderbrok Golf community across "50" from Fair Oaks Mall
Hi neighbors.

[Squatch]

2. Me too. 2 votes for Kaine/Byrne

Quite a good turnout in the sticks of SE VA.

[ObaMania]

4. Lets just hope the sticks are Kaine country! n/t

[LostinVA]

25. Byrne? But she's dangerously liberal! Haven't you seen the ads?

Hehehehehhe.... and wtf is all this illegal immigrant stuff all of the sudden? Even the RWers I know never talk about that!

[Perky]

32. Wedge issue.

Republicans for a great at instilling fear and hate at the last minute to get their base to the polls.

33. Wedge issue.

Republicans for a great at instilling fear and hate at the last minute to get their base to the polls.

[Perky]

29. They let you vote twice for Tim Kaine???

How cool is that. Hee hee

[Squatch]

35. LOL...my lovely wife was with me

[Perky]

38. I am bummed they only let me vote once for TK>

No line at all at 12:15

[ObaMania]

3. What area?

I'm voting in Ashburn this afternoon. My wife said the turnout was low at 6:45 AM EST

[lonestarnot]

6. Why aren't you still at the poll videoing the theft?

[Squatch]

8. What theft?

[lonestarnot]

10. The one that will more than likely than not, take place today in polling

places throughout merica.

[Squatch]

11. So, if Kaine wins today (which he will)...will you come back and

say that you were needlessly creating controversy where there was, in fact, none?

[lonestarnot]

13. And if he doesn't, sounds as though you aren't willing to examine that

possibility in advance of the act?

[Squatch]

15. You still haven't answered my question.

If the results are positive, will you come back and acknowledge that you were just creating controversy when there was no call, nor reason, nor evidence, to do so?

[lonestarnot]

16. I will bet you that he will not win.

[Squatch]

17. Ah, ok...and if what you predict does, in fact, come to pass, then

you will be prepared to offer evidence of "theft"?

[lonestarnot]

18. Not there, how could I possibly do that?

[Squatch]

19. But, you feel confident enough

to predict the outcome of this race and allege theft?

OOOOOOooooo-kay.

[lonestarnot]

20. No race in America is safe from what has been demonstrated as

vote manipulation in 2004.

[Renew Deal]

28. Why aren't you?

I'm just saying?

[justiceischeap]

7. I voted in Norfolk

Low turn out but I saw lots of my co-workers. Voted on Diebold machines... It seemed all was well at the end of my vote (everything appeared recorded as I chose) but who knows what goes on inside that little box.

[oc2002]

12. I am in Arlington too, which is mostly a Democratic precinct.

I have no illusion that Kilgore will win, the election is fixed.

Democracy is dead, Kaine is as the Romans use to call it a 'strawman' candidate.

[ObaMania]

14. Damn, oc2002..

.. makes me not want to vote today. Why do you think Kaine is a strawman candidate?

[FSogol]

21. That's exactly why the constant pessimism is out of place.

Go vote.

If there are irregularities, they can be dealt with.

I've been voting in this State for 22 years and have never had a problem. I've worked at polls and have not seen any irregularities.

Go Vote.

[Squatch]

23. Amen. Get out there and vote.

[ObaMania]

24. If done properly, a stolen election is transparent.

.. to this day, I don't think VA went red fair and square in '00 or '04.

[LostinVA]

26. I saying Kaine by 1%

[FSogol]

22. BS. Why are you trying to discourage people from voting? n/t

[LostinVA]

27. Yeah, I'm wondering that too

My very liberal area had a HUGE turnout, which never happens in a non-presidential election. That bodes well....

[WritingIsMyReligion]

40. Wow. Thanks for that bit of optimism there, oc.

:sarcasm:

Instead of COMPLAINING about it, get out there and DO something (like VOTE!), if you're so convinced.

[helderheid]

30. do you have a VVPB and an audit system?

[Perky]

34. Predictions

Kaine wins with about 52%

[VaYallaDawg]

37. I voted 7:45 am (Henrico Co.), had to stand in line (not a long one tho)

[applegrove]

39. Oh good! I hope that means Dems are angry. Oh - I hope. I think that

is good news!!
