Please mention if you had to wait in line for hours, or if there were any problems with the voting system in your area. Some reports are coming out of touch-screen problems and some extraordinary long wait times.

When we went in about 10 in the morning, there was no line, but people were coming and going constantly, and things were going fast.

This election also has some interesting ballot measures including 4 on gay marriage, 1 on gay couples adopting, 2 affirmative action, medical pot, stem cell research, and doctor assisted suicide, so if you live in one of these states tell us how you voted and why.

I voted for Obama at about 5:30 pm eastern. I had to eat lunch first, and procrastinate. ^_^
Only took me 15-20 minutes for the whole process. I wonder if there was low turnout in my precinct... :O Not sure though.

Voted an hour ago, Obama for President, Jack Reed for Senate, then all the Independents. Wait was about 10 mins, which was pure timing. About 100 people in line as I was leaving.
They made me fill out some card and show ID to vote for some reason. I questioned them on it and they said it's because I missed 2 straight federal elections. I told them that was bullshit, and I got this explanation "well, these are state employees we're talking about. They aren't always on the ball."

Voted No on 8 - I'm indifferent to gay marriage, but I very much against altering the constitution for a Proposition backed by Mormans and religious nut jobs
Voted for Barr
I'm actually pretty tired from waiting forever to get in the booth. The entire operation was run by 90 year old women in coke bottle glasses.

Weird, I always thought you were a liberal but you voted for the most conservative candidate on the ballot.

For the most part I'm liberal. But when it comes to govt. spending I like a conservative approach. Both McCain and Obama are big spenders and it worries me.

Barr?
I don't get it. No offense, isn't that a waste of a vote since he's not gonna win anyways? (not smart on politics, forgive me)

If he gets enough votes then hopefully it opens the door for a 3rd Party to have a stronger voice 4 years from now. I'd like to have another option during the debates.
The vote was hardly wasted.
Besides it's almost a lock for California to select the Democrat in the race.
