I was out yesterday to vote in the early voting.  The location we picked was 
a library.  It was packed inside and a line of about 40 people outside 
waiting to get in.

FYI, here our vote forms have 4 written pages front and back or a several 
dozen screens if you use the electronic screens.  Remember that this is a 
major year for most in the USA and you need to know who you are going to vote 
for at the federal, state, and local levels.  Here most people were taking 15 
minutes to vote if they were prepared.  IMHO, too many people gave up and 
didn't vote for the local levels and constitutional amendments.  This is your 
chance to select the leaders for the next few years and which taxes and 
causes you favor.

I'll also second John Doe's comment that it was great to see so many people 
voting.
