Default Election day thread!

I didn't vote today. Did you?

I figure I live in Illinois, so my vote for president won't count. Plus, I'm not crazy about either candidate. I haven't studied the other elections for today enough for me to make a good decision.

2.5 hour long wait for me in an area that had PLENTY of voting machines. I counted 24 in open view, there were more around a corner that were the double-wide style for people in wheel chairs or with more girth.

We weren't allowed to talk about the candidates in line, but that didn't stop all the elderly white people. I was amazed to hear how pro-Obama some of these old, white people were. Keep in mind, the area I live in appears to be VERY pro-Republican, pro-LIFE, pro-Christianity, etc.

Again, I was surprised to see and hear what I did. Maybe tonight we will find out that hell has frozen over.
