I was lucky to have only an hour wait at my voting spot in Columbus, Ga. I arrived at 10:30 a.m. and was driving away at 11:30 a.m. Folks were friendly and the volunteers were organized and efficient. Kids were out of school, so there were quite a few bored little ones running around, but no one was crying. The volunteers were passing out water bottles and had plenty of chairs near the line for elderly or tired voters.
They didn't need any chairs at my mom's voting spot in Terre Haute, Ind. She had no wait at all when she arrived at about 10 a.m.
My sister, in Atlanta, waited two hours. She arrived at 8 a.m. She just missed out on the doughnuts that were delivered as she was leaving at 10 a.m. People there brought their own lawn chairs and were quite chatty in line. Check out her twitter updates. She's Augustanne09.
Time to collect free stuff. Free Chick-fillet sandwiches, coffee from Starbucks and Krispy Kremes are available! Have fun!

I was nervous when I saw the huge line ... but I arrived at the firestation in Huntertown at 4:40 and was out by 5:20. Not bad. And friendly people. Good experience. It's empowering isn't it?
I think Oregon does it right. Everything's mail-in, so we voted at the kitchen table. Love it!
Hey Dawn. Is there a reason for your blog slacking? Too busy, I'm guessing ... but I miss your posts.
