Are you going to the polls alone?

I have to drag my 9 year old with me LOL He has to suffer just like I did when I was a kid.

Went alone yesterday. Voted all by my little ole lonesome. Didn't need anyone to read to me was perfectly capable of understanding the process all by myself. Even told the pollester at the front of the building who I planned to vote for when I went in....guess what the Bradley affect wasn't working with me. Texas will be purple if I have anything to say.

I went to vote early the other day on my way home from work. It was not too bad and I got it done.

Since I will be out of the county where I am registered to vote and am leaving the country for an extended period on Nov 6th I have already voted. I went to vote on the first day for absentee balloting and I was the first one to vote in my county and in case you are interested I voted for McCain. I took a long hard look at Obama and he left too many questions in my mind to vote for him plus his choice of running mate was the final nail in his coffin for me.

I prefer going with friends and family, living a life alone is not at all good for any body so when going to poll or any other thing always go with the friends it will give you an opportunity of social welfare, when you are alone, what you think is the primary decision, but when you are with your family the right decision can be made easily.

Last time I voted we had our own grocery store and our kids were too young to vote so my husband went during the day and I went that night. By the time I got to the voting place which was a church I managed to walk right in, so there wasn't a crowd and no waiting line whatsoever. However, we lived in the country. Now, we live in the middle of town and with this election being so talked about and with such passionate supporters on both sides, I'm expecting to be waiting a while this year. I am really excited about this election as this will be the first time that my son and my oldest daughter will be voting. My daughter is 19 and my son is 22 and although he could have voted in the last election, he didn't want to. However, this year he is very certain of who he wants in office and is ready to vote. I don't think that all of us will be voting for the same candidate but we all respect each other's opinions and don't argue about it so that is good. I am happy to see my oldest kids taking an interest in the debates and the politics now and can only hope that my youngest, who just turned 18 in September, will want to vote in the next election.

i go alone. The polling place is less than a block away. I can go on to my front porch and see if there is a line. I do take my daughter though. This way, when she is old enough, she will realize how easy it is!

I'm not anticipating any problems. I vote at a little Quaker Friends School in the small town adjacent to my own little town. I usually go as soon the polls open and although the lines were longer than usual in the Pennsylvania Primary, they were not that bad. I usually go alone but meet a lot of neighbors and friends when I get there. In fact the retired couple that live two houses down from me are poll workers.

I second the suggestion to bring cards. Bring SOMETHING. Even early voters are waiting in line for hours all over the country. The turnout this year is going to be like nothing we've ever seen before. I am WORKING at the polls on Election Day, so I probably will have no choice but to go alone. Thing is, I don't know if I'm allowed to vote at the station I'm working at, or if I have to go to another one on my lunch or dinner breaks. Hopefully if the latter is true, the wait won't be too long for me to make it.

I remember dragging one or two of my kids along when I would vote in Maryland for company while I waited in line...and to hopefully give them an interest in the election process. When my husband and I went to vote during the Primary there was one other person voting at 6:00 in the evening. We'll be going together on the 4th. but I don't think we'll have to wait long, if at all. It's a very small district.

I'm taking my husband but our polling station is about a block (short block) from our house so we will probably walk if the stations are as bad as they say. Are you in a swing state? When I got my card in the card there's like 6 places we can go.
