I CANNOT BELIEVE IT...I Had To Wait To Vote
I have never, ever had to wait on the UWS Manhattan. In and Out. Today it was so crowded there was scarcely room to breathe. Part of the problem was the scanners which kept failing because of the overload. The general consensus:
This was a very good sign, perhaps an omen because the people around here are voters, but I heard some saying they had to get Rid of him and this is the first step. Gobsmacked am I.

It's looking good for Dems with these large crowds after a staggering turnout in Early Voting.
My optimism meter is ticking up
We had quite a wait at our voting place too... but nobody seemed to mind. There was much chatter and the overall atmosphere was a bit festive and excited.
Our line zig-zagged back and forth (like an amusement park or airport security) and people were engaging in across-the-line conversations... that were interrupted until we passed each other again after rounding the corner and going in the opposite direction.
and it was hot and rainy steamy in there.
I have never stood in a line until today!!
