Election Day Thread
I am going to update this thread throughout the day to report anything significant that comes up. I’ll start a new one this evening when it gets near time for the polls to close to report results.
4:35pm – 4 and 5 hour waits in the Low Country!
4:31pm – Two Triangle polling places will extend voting tonight because of delays in balloting this morning.
2:46pm – Rick Jenkins, the Vice-Chairman of the Buncombe County Republican Party shows us all how “cultured” he is in the art of graffiti.
11:16am – The Palmetto Scoop is reporting that in Rock Hill Precinct 6, the poll workers are not allowing the poll watcher to observe the process and that poll workers are being placed right next to machines.
11:12am – A pregnant woman in Hilton Head Island went into labor this morning while standing in line to vote.
10:52am – The Glenn Reese for Senate campaign was photographed out removing campaign signs stating that Senator Reese (D-Inman) supports Barack Obama for president. Evidently, the campaign must feel that hurts his reelection chances in heavily Republican Spartanburg County.
10:39am – A coworker of mine up in Charlotte waited over two hours this morning to vote. The huge turn out today which will likely benefit Obama.
10:07am – I just got back from voting and waited 45 minutes. That was longer than what I was expecting because my poll usually is pretty slow. The line was well out the door.
