It might be selection bias, but I think we’re seeing considerably more people supporting Democrats than the even split we generally observe.

Ya think? ;-)

The count for the day was over 600 at Free Union when I voted just before noon. I waited in a short (3 or 4 minute) line. Luckily, there’s quite a bit of space inside the Free Union Baptist Church for a long line — out of the rain — should the need arise.

Its great that more people are voting — I just hope people are voting on policy.

I just finished voting at Brownsville Elementary in Crozet, and I have never seen such turnout. This was my first time voting there, but from the comments of the people in line with me and the poll workers, this is unusually high turnout.

I was number 436 in the P-S line, and at least another 60 people had come in behind me before I left. I was impressed by how quickly the poll workers were able to process the high volume of voters.

The high turnout was inspiring…would be great if the trend towards greater participation in our process continues!
