No judgement, just curious why you're waiting. Child care issues? Or maybe the chance that lines will get shorter? Or did you need to meet a work deadline, and then you'll vote on your way home?

I'm going to vote on my way to work (where work entails driving about 15 minutes, today, picking up my student, and bringing him to work the polls in his state.)

I am voting tonight after work with my husband. That is how we always do it. My state does not have early voting, but even if it did, we would still be voting tonight after work. It is tradition for us and we will always do it that way. We also have pizza and beer as part of our tradition.

I worked two extra hours last night so I could use this morning to vote. I am done, my vote for Obama is in. My parents called me. They both voted Obama and usually vote republican. I was very shocked and happy.

I am. I have to wait for hubby to gt home,and the kids get off the bus after 4. The teenager has to watch the baby & 5 year old,or I'd have already went. I AM contemplating taking the baby in his stroller,as the suspense is KILLIN me, but hubby wanted us to go together! We vote in a big barn on a gravel road,& I don't anticipate a huge long line. I HOPE.....

Tradition is good. I voted early due to concerns about long lines with long Colorado ballot.
