My husband waited almost two hours this morning, but I got in with no wait at all at 1pm. The worst part was trying to figure out exactly Amendment 1, and what a 'Yes' or 'No' vote would actually mean. The wording was so confusing I called a friend and had her look it up on the Internet ( I stayed in my booth for about 20 minutes while I figured this one out). Later I enjoyed a free coffee from Starbucks and a free chicken sandwich from Chik-fil-et.

Catherine & I left for the polls at 5.15 a.m., even though the Missouri polls didn't open until 6.00 a.m. We wanted to get a jump on things. As it was, we still had at least 50 people in line ahead of us. Once the polls opened, things went really quickly. It only took us ten minutes. There had to have been at least 300-350 people waiting in line as we came out. Driving by later in the day, there was no line at all. take care, wadcorp ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2008 11:35:28 -0500 From: "Stewart Russell" Subject: Re: Alloy: Re: alloy-digest V12 #265 2008/11/5 Philip Watkins : > > Catherine & I left for the polls at 5.15 a.m., even though the Missouri > polls didn't open until 6.00 a.m. My partner (coincidentally a Missourian called Catherine) had voted by mail as absentee. Clay County confirmed that they'd received her vote by the time Catherine's mother voted mid-afternoon. But yay! Missouri RPS: means more renewables in Missouri. Y'know, like that old popular song about wind power ... cheers, Stewart - -- http://scruss.com/blog/ ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V12 #266 ****************************
