Cheated
Polls opened at 7:00 AM here in Pennsylvania, the
Keystone Battleground State. I voted at 8:30 or so, was the 135th in my precinct to cast a ballot, and had to wait a grand total of about 90 seconds. The teenaged girls (they didn't look old enough to vote) handing out sample Democratic ballots, and the middle-aged men doing the same for Republicans were pleasant, smiled, and even said thanks for voting as I left. Somehow I feel cheated. I mean, where were the scowls, glares, and rolling eyes, the intimidation? I'll probably do some shopping later -- maybe I'll luck out and get a surly clerk.
PA's the third largest of the undecided states, and of those three (FL and OH being the others), it seems the most likely to vote for Kerry. At this point if PA goes for Bush I'd be surprised if FL and OH didn't also.
