I agree. I think allowing people in line in their cars is liberal and fair. Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2016 #8

they are bending over backwards to allow as many people in the traffic jam all the way back to Rt 3 to be able to vote. This is in Merrimack, NH.

They decided that if you were on the road headed to the highshcool, you were in line to vote.

You will be able to vote.
Be patient, wait, and you will be able to vote.

This is going to be a loooooooooooooooooooong nite in this specific voting location.

I like their attitude, they WANT people to be given the chance to vote.

Keep up the good work NH!!!!!

We love you!!

they are being very kind and doing their best....


the cut off is like a mile away from the high school at a junction that clearly indicates if you were at that spot, you were meaning to go to the school to vote.

You will be allowed to vote.

Be patient, you will NOT be turned away.

It's still a mess that we don't have easier ways to vote - and that goes for the whole country.

we all use the internet to do banking, and bill paying.

Companies like banks and amazon, etc have HHHUUUUUGGEE databases that are secure.

Why can't this all be done on line??

Agree 100 % that we can do it sooo much better.

And you can bet your butt that the turnout would be mind-blowing.

Being able to vote in my PJ's with a cup of coffee??

PRICELESS!! lol

who can't get in the doors, including those still in line for the parking lot due to local authorities changing the traffic flow to make it "more efficient".

You could power all of NH with the electric that spin is generating.

Sounds like an 'artful smear'.
They stopped the traffic line at 8 PM.
The cops are NOT deciding who can and who can note vote.
