In some years there is less than that whole day.<br />
Even more, earlier today, when I was dropping off my daughter at school around 7:50am, there was a line there with people even standing outside in the cold rain!  I have NEVER seen a line there in the last 3.5 years here.<br />
Oh, and if you are so new here that you do not know how I may have voted, I feel like <a href="http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/008153.html#008153" target="_blank" title="">this</a> and <a href="http://pandagon.net/2006/11/07/just-suck-it-up-and-vote-for-the-democrats-already/" target="_blank" title="">this</a>.<br />
There is a judge race (officially non-partisan) in which I did not vote because the self-professed Democrat is bat-shit crazy (and not even endorsed by the Democratic Party) and the Republican&#8230;well, they all need to get the message that belonging to a maniacal party does not pay any more.  There is another judge (who I think is an old-style Zell-Miller-like Southern Democrat) who is running unopposed for whom I did not vote because I saw his despicable demeanor in the courtroom &#8211; but that is personal.</p>
