1. Just watched it live on ABC-7 WLS

He took a few pictures with the crowd.

Ironically enough, he cast his ballot at about 4:20 p.m. CST

2. I wonder if he had to show his ID...

Um...........NOT.

3. Yeah, he did. Showed his driver's license and joked to the woman not to go by the

color of his hair. He was so charming to all there and asked peoples names, etc...

5. Omigod, I was kidding!

I can believe he was charming...

He is a lovely man.

4. Actually he did.

She is checking his ID with his face in the pic on twitter. It got a giggle.

6. I received an email from him earlier saying he was the first Pres ever to vote early

And, of course he urges us to tell all our acquaintances and family to vote.
