I live in Lake County and I can tell you right now that

[kas125]

those absentee ballots will be overwhelmingly for Obama. There has never been eleven thousand early ballots in this county before and it's because Obama people went to vote early. They had cookouts, they drove friends and neighbors to the courthouse all day last Saturday. Those uncounted votes will be for Obama.

1. A mayor from that county was saying they were counting those absentee ballots right now.

5. One of those early votes they're counting is mine.

It's weird; I don't think my vote has ever really counted before.

6. Cool, I hope Obama squeaks out a victory

That will put a period on this night for sure, though it's over either way.

8. Yes the voter ID situation woke a few people up

11. I hate the voter ID thing

but if we have to deal with it, I'm glad it was the primary so that everyone will know to have the ID come Nov.

My mother moved to South Carolina when she was 80 and did not get a driver's license because she had stopped driving. It took my brother lots of effort to get her an ID so she could fly out to CA to see me. So I know that getting ID isn't easy.
