why does that link go to a video that has nothing to do with the topic? A mis-leading piece about Obama born alive bill oposition. As always, check the facts:

Since I cannot see the article that the title of this post references I will assume that these people are on line voluntarily and that they are not only passionate, but extremely excited to vote.

I waited 90 minutes to cast my vote today. It really shouldn't of taken that long. Part of the problem is that they have a bunch of retirees working there. They moved in two speeds. Really slow and stop. Everyone was pretty friendly on the line. Even with the wait it wasn't a horrible experience.

We waited about 15 minutes, but it was about 2:00 pm in the afternoon. Both of us had off from work.

About 20 for me; my wife timed hers at 18. I voted at 9:30 and she at 2:30.
