I did want to echo the comments earlier about this being civilized still when politics can be very "touchy" for some people. While I don't agree with the voting choice of several people here, I wouldn't hesitate in a second to go up to anyone voting for the other guy and say, "You know what? I still like you because we are all Americans." We live in a country free to disagree with the next guy. And while I don't like blue frosting on a donut (no comment about bacon.... mmmm.... bacon....), I'm not going to run around cursing those of you that voted for him. And for those that hadn't seen it before, here is the donut and bacon shirt I first referenced...

That's hilarious, Nick. I had no idea that was actually a shirt.

... I wouldn't hesitate in a second to go up to anyone voting for the other guy ... do you mean voting for 'that one' ?

Nick, I agree with your comments. I'm looking forward to this all being over so we can go back to being purple again.

Waited in line for 100 minutes on Thursday, 10:00am to vote in the "out of state on election day" polls (about 400 ahead of me)... My vote is in Indianapolis!

Got to the polls at 7 AM and it took me an hour to get in and out. There were only 20 people in front of me in line when I got there... and then I watched the two poor 70+ year-old souls working the voter validation machines fight with them for 40 minutes to no avail... not a single person moved in or out for 40 minutes... what a disaster. (and I watched as person after person bailed out of line and left) Then, when I got to the point of being able to vote, they asked me whether I wanted electronic or paper... I figured electronic would be faster, so I chose that... WRONG. When I got to the machine (the one and only), I found to my surprise, it was not turned on. I asked another volunteer if there was some trick I was not aware of to get it work and then watched for 10 minutes as he and his compatriots consulted with one another on how this curious machine might work... I then gave up that game, took my paper ballot, and was out 5 minutes later. (though I did pass another perplexed voter staring at the blank electronic voting machine screen on my way out, which was at least some amusement after the entire experience) I agree with all the comments about how much we need to appreciate the freedom to vote, but today's experience did not exactly support the image of the well-oiled American voting machine.
