2. What would you do if you were one of the people..

..standing next to him voting?? I'd be peeing my pants, I think.

[doublethink]

6. Me too !!

[frazzled]

7. I think these were specially placed people

I've had the feed on the last 20-30 minutes, and it didn't really seem like they were open for regular business.

[doublethink]

13. Not sure about the specially placed people you refer to ...

but the same poll workers are now back to their posts ... same people that helped the President vote are back to work. Understandable for security purposes if they cleared the place out a bit for the President though while he was there. Peace.

14. yes agreed because the line would have out to the doors but

if the President would have just went in unannounced could you imagine how Secet Service would have reacted..
Note ..It must hve been the Republican poll worker but she kept moving back and back farther to try and stay out of cameras view..kinda funny

3. Love the look on the face of the dude to Obama's left.

He's like "I'm voting next to the President!!!".

[doublethink]

12. That was great.

He's so personable, and loved when he took pictures with everyone after voting.

4. The lady asked him for his id.

[barnabas63]

5. seriously? or was she joking? nt

[young but wise]

9. No.

He showed it.

[frazzled]

8. IDs are required only for early voting in Illinois

But they are required. No exceptions, I guess.

For election day voting, you do not have to show ID. At least I've never been asked. Just sign the book.

10. Okay that was exceptionally cool.

There's not a pompous bone in that man's body.

[doublethink]

15. Agreed. n.t

[KansDem]

11. Hey! The President didn't get his "I Voted" sticker!

[doublethink]

16. Bummer.

[Liberalynn]

17. I wish I could vote early too

NY doesn't have it. Maybe after this election I will write to Governor Cumo about that.

Love the President!

[doublethink]

18. Not even Absentee? Mail in? We have that in Cali.

Didn't know that. Good thing NY is really Dark Blue then !!
