What's On Your Ballot? Find out...... http://www.e-democracy.org/myballot/ -----------------------------------------
I just got back from the downtown Saint Paul location in Kellogg Square. The line there wrapped around the hallways inside the building, and according to the people at the desk it had been that way since they opened. As I walked to and from the polling place, I saw far more people with "I Voted" stickers than ever before. The process was quick and efficient for both pre-registered and newly registered voters alike. Even with the extremely long line, the wait from start to finish was about 35 minutes. Everyone was pretty cordial and uncomplaining about the long line. I didn't see anyone that showed up and left before voting because of the wait. As a side note, I didn't see any of the purported "challengers" on site... just election judges and helpers, with one gent off to the side seeming to be counting the number of people that voted. I didn't know what to expect, but it was a nice experience, with lots of helpful people.

Please, report back to us once you've voted! Also, be sure to indicate where your polling location is. It will be interesting to notice differences in various parts of the city.
