it's a teabagger haven, so that's not good.

The lady behind me was all upset that we DIDN'T have to show ID. I was tempted to tell her it's because it's a republican town and we're all white...but I didn't

and a young man together in line ahead of me (grandma/grandson?). The young fellow obviously had very serious problems - impeded speech, scars all over his head, not sure exactly what he suffered from, but absolutely major care issues. I think she was just showing him how the voting process works.

30 minutes later I saw them again, in the 6A Aubuchon, then walking out and getting into an SUV plastered with tea party/patriot no-new-taxes, cut-cut-cut bumper stickers .

I just shook my head and walked away ..............

I don't know why.

I'm in Blue Springs (KC, MO suburb) and at 8am it was pretty busy.

in western NY. Paper ballots take more time but they're tangible proof if a recount is ever needed - heaven forbid!
