    I just hope good Americans do not get discouraged and wait as long is needed to dismiss the current POTUS and send him back to Chi-town.

    They won't, they are happy to wait in line to vote out the loser.

    Still without, costing me a fortune in gas, but at least my family still has their life and liberty.

    Just voted. While my rural precinct never has a wait, there were still more folks there than I have ever seen at one time .... about 20 cars .... :)

    All FL closed at 7 PM local, but as the panhandle is CST, it will be 8 PM EST before they can post any results. VA and NC close at 7 PM. PA and OH at 7:30, but I suspect long lines may delay results in many places.

    Same thing here in the counties of Central Virginia - the lines are even longer than they were in 2010...

    #1, so the extravagant claims based on anecdotal evidence begin. Wanna bet there are 10 pictures out there of long lines in heavily Democratic precincts? Want to bet there's no data on whether the lines at any given precinct are normal or abnormal?

    I'm glad to see heavy turnout, regardless of its political makeup. But there are probably a million voting stations around the country. 10 pics are meaningless.

    #2, How do long lines in Indiana, Alabama and Florida have any importance?

    I expect that will be the case here in Virginia. I'll be one of the late voters, myself.

    FYI, we may not know the results here in Virginia today, either. There were a lot of provisional ballots cast and the votes won't be certified until the end of the week.

    1-Show us the pics then, lets see them.

    2-Indiana voted Obama in 2008, going Romney now. Florida is a huge swing state that Obama needs, he will lose it.

    I think a lot of fed up Democrats will be voting Romney as well, you know the Reagan Democrats... one reason is that people do want to keep their insurance...

    Higher voter turnout in Republican districts than in 2008. It may not matter in Alabama, but it will in Florida and here in Virginia...

    Al D Amato predicts Romney will win by 100,000 votes in Ohio... 250, 000 fewer Democrats in early voting this year in Ohio than four years ago... Plus Independents are overwhelmingly voting Romney...

    Ahhh yes, reminds of 2000 when one of the liberal networks tried to call Florida for Gore before the polls even closed in a blatant attempt to discourage and disenfranchise the conservative CST panhandle.

    They imply long lines in Ohio and Pennsylvania and every other state.

    I just said they don't matter. I'm not wasting 20 minutes of my life hunting down meaningless photos.

    Indiana has been in Romney's column this entire cycle; the vote there doesn't matter. Same with Florida: it's been leaning Romney for a while now. But while Romney needs Florida to win, Obama doesn't.

    Then if you want to play the meaningless anecdote game, you should at least show photos of long lines in the swing states.

    A long line in Alabama is no more meaningful than a long line in California.

    Really? How so?

    And why do you need to imply long lines when you should be able to *show* long lines?
