I just voted in Middletown
I just voted in Middletown. No lines. There was a one guy out front, trying to hand me Payne literature. I looked at him and laughed and said no Thank You. He had every Republican candidates sticker pasted to his shirt that you could think of.

Respond when you vote and where and a story if you have one.

1. Voted in Nazareth, PA
Arrived around 7AM. Nowhere to park. Long line. Not very organized. Took about 50 minutes to vote. No apparent problems with electronic voting machines.

4. Six total
Three for each of the districts represented. There should have been more poll workers to prepare the slips of paper. At times two out of the three booths were empty. I guess it's tough getting people to do that work.

3. Northern suburb of Pittsburgh here.
My husband tried to vote before going to his office around 7:30 am....very busy with trouble finding parking. I voted late morning at the same location and had only two people in front of me at my precinct.

Poll workers reported heavy turnout for this area...approx. 600 had already voted before lunch at this precinct location in northern suburbs of Pittsburgh.

5. Johnstown PA here, only two candidate workers at the poll, one for Murtha and one for Obama
Both the Murtha (My Congressman) and the Obama worker were working together, standing side by side and not a Republican in sight. I talked to the poll workers and I was the 133rd voter at about 11:00 am this morning, I then asked how many voter in the district and she told me 505. Thus the turnout was already over 25% at 11:00 am, with the lunch and evening crowds still to come.
