Long line in northern virginia
I've been voting in northern virginia for over 30 years. Never had to stand in line more than 5 minutes. This morning, stood in a line of over 100 votes for over 50 minutes. And nobody left. Saw lots of Kerry bumper stickers in the parking lot; not one B-C. And I love my local voting place -- one of the most ethnically diverse elementary schools in the country: the bathroom signs are in 7 different languages!!

3. Short Line Here in Stafford County
I voted at 10AM with NO wait. Many Democratic volunteers working the Kerry/Edwards tables here. Hope and pray we have a positive effect. :-)

4. Burke Centre district (127)
Same thing. Very long lines. Some cars were even backed up all the way out onto Roberts Road from the parking lot. I was handing out Dem. sample ballots, which were well received by all but a handful of people. A few refused politely, and several other refused in a snotty tone of voice.

Keep it up. Let's go Blue, Virginia!
