				Luckily my polling place was an elementary school one block away and I didn't wait in line at all.

				I walked 3 blocks to the site, got in line at about 6:55, polls opened at 7:00.
Only real problem was that they tried getting multiple lines of people in and back out of just one door.  Because of the bottleneck, people at the end of the line couldn't see that there were different lines for different sections of the alphabet, so they stood waiting when their line was really empty.
Once they got that cleared up, it was sign-in, get a ballot, vote, submit, free sticker, and out by 7:30.
Poor organization, though.  The various lines were all over the place.  Luckily it was all paper ballots, so no problems with machines breaking down.

FFS.....that's retarded. On election day here in Canada a few weeks ago I walked into the polling station, a volunteer pointed me to the station that had the least amount of people at it and I voted (on a paper ballot) in no time flat.
I was in and out in 2 - 3 minutes.
 
I thought you were a german or dutch national, what are you doing voting in the canadian elections? Didn't you move there like last year?

				I can't believe how many people are choosing the obviously sarcastic answer in this poll. I mean, 82%? Really?

				I've never understood why churches are polling places.
I guess I can see why they were a hundred years ago, but not now.

The word "neo" is latin for "new". So kinda like "new conservatives". As you just described yourself as "old school" I don't think this applies.
By the way, McCain is gonna get it in the ring tonight, balls deep with zero lube.

I'm Canadian born and raised and moved to Germany/Denmark before coming back here 8 months ago.
And depending on nationality/length of residency non-Canadians can vote in Canadian elections.

				I've noticed that a lot lately. The majority of the people I see supporting republicans are poor/dumb. Must be due to the fact that they tend to campaign with slander that morons eat up.

Maybe it was a private catholic school?

How can you be so wrong? Oh yeah, yer speaking opinion rather than fact...and yer from Canadia. 

  Actually, I'm a fair distance from the religious, greed ridden, power hungry, fools who call themselves Republican. Most Republicans don't even know the meaning of the word. Where I veer from "Republican" (old or new) is that, no matter my personal beliefs, I feel that people have the Right to make their own decisions on personal matters. For example; I am anti-abortion with exceptions for the health of the mother and age factors. Yet, I don't believe it is my place to make laws saying that you or your family cannot make that decision on yer own. I am a Republican who believes in the ideals that my Country was founded upon. I read the Constitution and Bill Of Rights, and don't understand how people can "interpret" those documents. They are clear and concise.
