Large turnouts in Rhode Island
Edited on Tue Nov-02-04 10:38 AM by seraph
We always go blue, but I was encourage by the scale and scope of how many people were voting.

I'm in a rural area of the state, and the place was packed.

1 hour line to vote!


I just want to say;

DAMN THIS FELT GOOD TO VOTE FOR JOHN KERRY!!!


Edited to add; My two daughters voted for the first time today, also for Kerry / Edwards!!!!

1. Think all of New England will go blue? I feel pretty good about
my own state of Maine, but am not sure about NH.

4.  where was this ?
down in hopkinton, I had to wait almost half an hour (usually there is no line at all). That was with 8 voting stations and 8 poll workers. Usually there's only half that many.
