I plan to vote early and often! Heck this early voting gives us 18 days to vote! Awesome!
Eni meeni miny McCane!
Eni meeni miny Obama!
Find a candidate in a debate!
If he calims 'tax breaks for all' let him go!
Eni meeni miny fellow American's just VOTE!
Yes, and could you please wait till after we get through there today? JK, but when we pulled in at 11:30 yesterday morning, the line was almost back to the main mall!
Which is GREAT for democracy. Not so great for ME and my time management. ;-)
What I mean is that I think the voters were called on the phone and asked whether they had voted, not surveyed as they left the polling booth. Again, though, I'm not sure on the details.
There are pollsters who do this. SurveyUSA asks people if they have already voted, and includes those results in their internals. For instance, in this poll taken last week, 5% of the 900 respondents said they had already voted (presumably absentee)...
Just realize, 5% of 900 is only 45 people, so the results have to be taken with a huge boulder of salt. Error rates in such a small sample will be huge, and the sample is unlikely to be representative of the state as a whole.

They say that the first and last days of Early Voting are always the busiest; you sould have waited until today (and maybe you did); I went to a different location around 10:30 and there was only about a 15-minute wait.
I plan to vote early at the Triangle Town Center location this week. I love the idea of early voting. Regardless of who wins, I hope we see record turn out this election.
And NRG, about the record turn outs! And I REALLY HOPE ALL the votes get counted!!!
BTW, if you guys haven't read the children's book Duck for President by Doreen Cronin, I highly recommend it. It helps me keep a sense of humor in all the election calamity!!
What is the 2008 theme? Vote early and vote often? I thought I heard that at a local Acorn office, not sure. I'm going to vote on election night. It's more exciting that way.

I think you should save the rhetoric for the politics and controversies forum. I also think you should reconsider and go ahead and vote early during the day this week. I mean if you go to vote on election night who is going to hide in the bushes and man the trip wire at your house on the eve of Nov 4th while you're sitting in line waiting to vote?

Lots of huffing and puffing about candidates' right to bother me on my way to the polls.
I think it was Katie Couric who last night said that early voting in NC is running at about a 49%-49% tie between Obama and McCain.
I thought exit polls were not allowed in early voting.
Anyway... Get out and cast your ballot!
