My flickr friend Holly has voted and sent in the following report from Lorain, OH:
- Where did you vote (City/State):
- Lorain, OH
- What time of day:
- after school
- What were the conditions like?
- I went at 7:45 am and the line for my precinct was really long (probably at least 45 minutes for my specific precinct) so I decided to head back after school today. I went and was in and out in a matter of 5 minutes. All of the poll workers were friendly and helpful. Everyone seemed to be upbeat and happy and proud to be there! I took my husband up at 5:30 and he faced the same as me as far as lines and time spent.
- What kind of voting machines?
- Our county uses those cool electronic machines and all seemed to be working well. I have heard from friends in relatively close counties that still use the "hanging chad" type ballots. I think that many people voted early via absentee and also at the local Board of Elections so that kept the lines down today.
- Did you see any voter challenges?
- n/a
- If you voted absentee, how did that work out?
- n/a
- Anything else you want to add?
- The weather was awesome in Lorain County today...70 degrees and sunny. Awesome for November! I remember last year I went to vote in an ice storm and almost fell on my ass on a slick spot! LOL! I am happy you are doing this! This election was awesome and may the best candidate win!! Warm and Fuzzy Obama Regards!!!
Thanks a bunch Holly! Good luck in Ohio!
