Just a perk of being a federal employee. Besides Oct-Dec is our dead period.

The Repubs already beat you to that claim of fraud. I figured it was too good for the Dems not to copy.

I have a friend living in NYC. He couldn't get his absentee ballot in because of hurricane sandy. Little does he know I'm pretty sure the deadline to mail the ballot is today. If he wasn't going to vote for Obama I would have told him :).

The Obama campaign's confidence extends well beyond Pennsylvania. In conversations with an array of top advisers this morning, a clear picture emerged that Chicago believes it has Nevada, Iowa, Wisconsin, and New Hampshire more or less in the bag; that it feels nearly as certain of carrying Ohio; and that Obama is just a tad ahead in Virginia. As for Colorado and Florida, Team Obama believes they are both too close to call, but thinks they could well win both; they are forthrightly pessimistic only about North Carolina among the nine battlegrounds. This could all just be spin, of course — or they could simply be proven wrong. But having known and reported on these people for a solid six years now, my sense of their tone and body language is that their self-assurance is for real.

Smh. Why don't you just wait for the results little guy? You propaganda is not going to discourage people here. No sense in being unbearable with your links on Election Day.

+1 just sit back and let it all play out. Truth is no one really has an idea till the polls close. I'm dying to know just as bad but you can't get lost in the spin during the day.

Did anyone here in Ohio today have to cast a provisional balllot?

Lots of drama around people being pushed into casting provisional ballots.

What were they going to say? "Yea, I think we are going to lose".

I just got done voting in my DC poll location. Literally took me 3 minutes. It was a huge joke. There were signs about 20 feet from the school for a city council candidate. On top of that there was a girl handing out fliers for that city council candidate right by the step os the school. When I get in to vote, all I had to do was provide my name and sign in. The lady did not (although she is supposed to) ask for my license or voter registration card. DC is easily going to obama and any other democrat running for a position, but for fucks sake I hope it isn't like that in states that matter. That's how dead people are able to vote.

I can't remember an election where both sides were as convinced they were going to win going away based on what the data was telling them. Someone is going to be wildly wrong because there is not a hint of resignation to their fate from either side.

If polls were worth anything, there would need to be only one of them. No one knows what's going to happen tonight. No one.

While my voting location in Brooklyn was quasi-crowded, my district line was short, and my wife and I were out of there in 15 minutes (for the first time, I had to fill in my vote with a pen, then scan the sheet). We never got asked for our IDs either, which I am hearing more of today.
