5 Minute Line at the Polls

I voted at about 7:10 this morning at my precinct-- First Lutheran Church on Friendly Avenue.  There was a fair amount of activity.  It took about 5 minutes to move through the line. 

The person ahead of me was unaffiliated-- a white male-- and elected to vote in the Democratic primary.

It would be interesting to know what the lines would have been like had there not been early voting.  A brisk turn-out appears likely, but I wonder how many independents and unaffiliated voters will be voting in the Republican primary.

I'm un-affiliated and I voted in the Dem primary.

I heard on the radio this morning that 85% of the un-affiliated voters who voted early, voted in the Dem primary.

Roch, I suppose that, all other things being equal, that might tend to help Fred Smith and Hillary Clinton. Maybe?

It took me all but 5 minutes to vote.

One observation I saw is that at 4 polling places I went to there was not one Obama or Clinton person at the polling places and not even a sign at the polling place for each of them.
If I was on the elect obama or clinton campaign in Guilford County why didn't you even have a sign at each polling place. That is the first thing you do on the eve of the voting day.

I was polling for a few people one being E.C. Huey . There was a lot of people who said to me they want a shake up on the board. I hope he gets in top 2 and go from there.
