Voted at 6:30 this morning. 35 minute wait, half outside.

Got in line, outside, accepted a sample Democratic ballot, and was chatting with the old guy passing them out when a lady tried to give me and my son a sample GOP ballot.

Me, "No thanks."
Her, "It really isn't fair that you take a Democrat ballot and the not pro-family, Republican ballot."
Me, "I think you'll be really upset by this time tomorrow."

Inside, line moved quickly. Saw 2 quiet poll observers, observing. Observed no problems or difficulties.

nice comeback. if you know how you're voting you have no responsibility to waste your time on their drivel and propaganda.

I think I would have not been so polite as you - but what you said was good!

I would have told her to get the **** out of my face!

Good for you! Took some nerve on her part. I'd hope you'd know what you wanted by the time you stand in line to vote, but I suppose she thought you would look at that ballot and flip to the dark side.

And they aren't "pro-family". I've watched with my own eyes how they try to rip gay families apart.

Yeah, Mitt's Family will make a killing if he wins.
