CNN

He looks like he's refusing to let her proceed and she looks terrified!

Elderly and disabled? Isn't that the McCain / Palin ticket?

This is why you are racisit "47 yr old....whatever and any of you other McCain/Palin supporters w/ hurt feelings... because this is how you and a lot of YOUR people think:

47yo male for McCain November 4th, 2008 2:38 pm ET

"Just because Obama, Sharpton and NAACP bought this election doesn't mean you can discriminate against Disabled Folks."

I'm a combat veteran of the United States Marine Corps. I went to vote this morning, only to find out that I wasn't registered. When I served overseas I sent in a registration and an absentee ballot in past elections, apparently nothing was received and my vote didn't count then and makes it not able to count today. So where did my registration and vote go in the past? Just would like to say no matter who you vote for, God Bless America and stand up for what you believe in!

The other blogs were closed but I just had to make this clear, on the blank panther reports in Philly that is making national news, there were 2 AA guys standing outside with a black panther sign on their clothing, and had clubs, and the Republican pole watcher stated they were intimidating people, the police were called to the scene and the 2 AA guys and fox news were escorted from the polling area. stop putting every AA in the same category, all races have nut jobs.
This has nothing to do with Obama.

Tulsa – you are too funny!!! My Dad has pretty much the same thought process as some of these rw – he completely contradicts himself when we talk politics...cracks me up!!!

If Obama bought this election, then the Yankees have been buying the WS for many years as their payroll is thru the roof compared to all other teams (including the Mets)!!!
In 2008, wanna bet the candidates don't raise at least what Obama has? Just wait – you will be shocked!!!

Gene – great statement!!!! And a great big AMEN!!!

don't you just LOVE the way Repub vp candidate

says American is 'COOL'

don'cha wanna VP who talks like that?

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH STOPPED GIVING FUNDS TO THE ACORN ORGANIZATION ACCUSED OF VOTER REGISTRATION FRAUD IN SEVERAL STATES AND WITH THOUSNADS OF EVIDENCE IN THE VOTER REGISTRATION FORMS. THE FBI IS INVESTIGATION B UT HAS NOT RELEASED ANY OF ITS FINDINGS
WHICH MEANS AMERICANS WILL NOT LEARN OF EXTENSIVE VOTER REGISTRATION FRAUDS TILL AFTER THE ELECTION WHICH WILL BE TOO LATE. IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO ROOT OUR UNQUALIFIED, INELIGIBLE VOTERS LIKE FELONS, ILLEGAL ALIENS , CEMETERY NAMES, FICTITIOUS CHARACTERS LIKE MICKEY MOUSE.

Gene-

The Republican party is based on the things that I agree with, and Christian and moral values are those that I agree with the most.
Obama, as a "Christian" listened for a period of time longer than my life span to the preachings of Jeremiah Wright. He spent twenty years listening to anti-American speeches and befriending those who were accused of terrorist acts. These are supposed Christian values? I think not.
John McCain was a POW. He spent years being tortured, yet would not leave his imprisonment until those who had been held longer had been released. He adopted a child from Bangladesh who had a cleft palate, paid for her surgery, and gave her a better life. These are not moral values?
Tell me, Gene, what precisely do you consider moral if not those things?

Richard S. – Congrats on surviving the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, but what does that have to do with the elderly or disabled.

I BELIEVE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS IN THIS ELECTION WAS WHEN A 106 YEAR OLD, YOUNG LADY GOT TO VOTE. IT BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES, SHE VOTED FOR BARACK OBAMA, WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME TO BE AN AMERICAN. VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN

Britain went decimal in 1969. Europe went Euro 20yrs later. What as the USA done to compeat? Now You want to Elect a Learner, who know nothing about the World/ Markets...... Your Going down America, this is the 14th Round and your heading for the Canvas....The World is Readyand Waiting, for your Fall...

The Race card will not work in this election. Bill and Hillary Clinton
did not play the race card and have helped Obama an awful lot , and for which Obama should be grateful (not sure though, but hope he will be). Bill Clinton is still the best campaigner and it will probably
he the best endoresement got and Barack Obama for better or worse will be our next President . Not sure if Obama offers Hillary
a cabinet post or a Justice position?

McCain/Palin and Senator Mark Warrner 2008!

Not only are some of the people who are posting on this site racist, but they seem to be prejudiced against elderly and disabled people. I am so ashamed that the moral fiber of our country has been diminished to the point that we all have to be young, white and physicially and emotionally perfect in order to be deemed 'upstanding' citizens who are worthy of casting a vote. Shame on the shallow representatives of our country who epitomize this mentality. I only hope that a positive light of hope, acceptance and unity will be cast on our great country in the next 24 hours.

I am TBI survivor who is an Independent voter, and has already cast my vote for John McCain/Sarah Palin!

McCain/Palin!

McCain/Palin!

To Elizabeth, I hope that when I am an old disabled person that my children will have my body processed to feed the living or create an industrial lubricant, not only not be a drain on society but also to aid our children because they are who we borrow the world from, the elderly are useful

To Concerned:

Sorry to say this.. But Obama is MUCH stronger on Christian values than McCain.. and as far as Moral Behavior.. Obama is much stronger than McCain too.

Obama is a family man who doesn't cheat on his wife... and McCain is running the sleeziest campaign ever... Terrorist claiming Robo calls... everything is about how bad Obama is instead of what he can do for the country.

So if anything.. you're voting for the guy who's LEAST displaying your "christian values"

Amy- The majority of polling station problems deal with disabled people messing up the voting machines.

Oh, I totally agree with you 47yo!
It somehow seems that, even though I live in New England, I am a redneck because I appreciate the Christian values, moral behavior, and decisions of a white Republican male.
however, if I were to vote Obama, I would be a trendy, up to date citizen?
Don't you just love double-standards?

Ah Gary put a lid on it dude! Obama will be your next president so suck it up!

I vote on what is the fact and who seem intelligent.
tired of the idiot in office. Love my Country
This is from a proud Muslim America.

I vote on what is the fact and who seem intelligent.
Tried of the idiot in office. Love my Country
This is from a proud Muslim America.

I think it's great that people are going down there and helping the elderly around so they can vote.. however..

Is it appropriate to have a state senate candidate be there in person helping? Isn't that like campaigning at the poll?

Concerned; I have discovered not only are you a racist if your a Republican and you are white but you are also a"Redneck."

lol... Some of you right wing-nuts are pretty funny.
Hyporcites and idiots, but funny!
Ok, The people who have voted for Obama voted because of his message of hope, unity and a return to responsible government of, by and for the people.
It's time we start behaving like we mean it. Let the right yell and scream at clouds. Let them call names. They won't hurt us. Believe in the people and their common sense.
Ignore the evil rants and accept any who want to join the struggle to take our country back in the direction our fathers intended.
United we stand, divided we shal surely fail.
As for those discontented Republicans, if you truly love this Country, do your duty. Pay your taxes. Be a force for unity not division.

There goes my Senator. He's a good man

Blue Virginia 08

Black Panthers are intimidating voters in Pa.
Check it out.

Why is it considered racist to be a Republican right now?
I'm not voting for McCain because he's white, i'm voting for him because we have similar values.
His skin color is not the issue I'm concerned with when casting my ballot. Obama may be black, but that doesn't mean that I'm racist for voting for "the white guy". Had Hilary Clinton been the Dem's nominee, I would still vote McCain.
People are "racist" because they don't vote Obama, yet the Black Panthers are a justifiable group of what, exactly? Night sticks and threats sound like racism to me, and the targets seem to be white republicans.

Stu Padaso November 4th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

Do we really want the elderly and disabled voting?
--------------------------

Stu- I am disabled. Why should I not be allowed to vote?

We have got to get a better system for voting! Perioed! It is amazing that we live in the country that is pretty much th eleader of the free world and we cannot get our voting system to work fairly, properly and adequately. I am so disappointed to see what is going on in our country in 2008 almost 2009 with the voting process. For God's sake, someone do somehting and why must we vote in one day, why can't we make a three day affair? why can't we make it easier and a bit more pleasant? I voted early this morning in my small town and didn't have to wait at all. I loved it! I hope that tonight when Seantor Obama wins the eloection, he'll propose something about our voting system that could work better for all of us!
Obama all the way to Pennsylvania ave....

I am glad that the elderly are being treated right at the polls. I worried when I heard that there were issues with the way the elderly were treated in Florida during the first few days of early voting.

I went to vote this morning at 11am and there wasn't a line, everyone was very nice, and I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. It was a pleasant surpise, considering I waited over 2 hours in 2006.

Voting Intimidation By Black Panthers In Philadelphia-
Just the kind of Unity I thought we'd get from the Messiah

Obama.., America's first affirmitive action president, curtious of the progressive corrupt MSM. We will not forget..

Just because Obama, Sharpton and NAACP bought this election doesn't mean you can discriminate against Disabled Folks.

CNN only posts the comments that they like so as not to seem biased. I am done with this stupid site. I hope Obama wins so that CNN will not longer have any buu crap to make up about Obama to feed into the Black hating frenzy!!

CNN seems to be doing a good job helping to keep things running smoothly.

Obama '08

People this is not about Dems complaining. The Dems as of tonight at Midnight will control The House, The Senate and The Presidency.
Not to mention probably the judicial branch in the next 4 years. This means the Dems will control The Legislative, Judicial, and Executive branch of government.

Why don't all of you BITTER Republicans just move to Canada, oh wait that is too socialist, how about Mexico, oh wait probably too communist. Where do you go?

Don't forget, you have done this to yourselfs and there is no one to blame but yourselves. So now what?

I am an African-American woman that just wants to thank EVERYBODY and thank God for letting Barack Obama get this far.

This is a healing moment for every black person in this country and I just want to let you all know how thankful I am.

God bless America's spirit and hope.

To Frank F ,remember that you will get old if you live. I hope that you don't feel that way about your parents.

We've all heard the old saw:

"If you don't bother to get out and vote, you can't complain about our government."

Anyone else find that pretty stupid?

Look at it in real life.
If my candidate wins the election I will never complain about what he does. There are a bunch of Republicans that still think G.W. Bush was a good President.
If my candidate loses the election I will complain about everything the President does.
If I don't vote, then I probably didn't care. Why would I complain anyway? Unless I'm a complainer, regardless.

I did vote. And I will be complaining if Barack Obama is elected. I will be reminding people everyday of all the promises The One made in order to get elected. I will point out how unsuccessful he is in fulfilling those promises. When, in four years, at the end of his term, he has failed terribly and no one wants to admit they voted for him, I will point out that, if you're Black, there's a 93% chance that you did.

I'm sure it's just for those who are going to vote for Obama. The state already wants to not include ballots of soldiers. Hmm, maybe that can take a hint from Philly, and have some Black Panthers come in and block polling places.

Like everything else the libs get their hands on, America will be ruined if they win.

NOBAMA

Everybody always blames the republicans for voter fraud, but what about the "Black Panthers" guarding the entrance of the voting places in Philly with night sticks and intimdating everyone.

Oh, and in Virginia, they seem to have LOST all of their votes cast by our military, who at last note were 68% McCain.

One polling place in Pittsburg already had votes on it when the voting started.

A lot of democratic cheating going on here.

Handicapped and the elderly should be moved to the front of the line. Thats just being respectful.

And when Jesus OBAMA was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; and behold, a voice from heaven said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased

I wonder how many of these elderly people are being TOLD how to vote?????

I'm wondering if it is possible for anyone else to screw the country up anymore then it already is.

Fact is people are not happy with Bush + Economy = Republicans that's how they vote.

Vote on the issues.

Why aren't the ballots in Chinese, they have them in English and Spanish!

I THINK THAT IN THE FINAL HOURS BEFORE LAST POLLS CLOSE WE WOULD KNOW THE WINNER, THE RESULT WON'T BE THAT TIGHT

I live in NC & use a wheelchair & didn't have any trouble voting this morning. I did notice, however, that only 1 voting station was lowered so that it could be accessed from a seated position. Luckily there was not a long line where I was voting, so I was able roll right up to it. I also noticed that there was a place where you could drive up to the curb and push a button & someone would bring your ballot right out to your car if you have a disability. I personally don't like any special treatment like that just because I have a disability (I'm young & very mobile despite using a chair), but I suppose it would be nice for those who are elderly or who have a more difficult time getting out of the car or waiting in lines.

OMG! This is obviously a racist Republican conspiracy!

my husband was a " vet" i lost him in 2006, HE WOULD BE SO PROUD TO HAVE VOTED FOR BARACK OBAMA, GOD BLESS ALL OUR TROOPS AND ALL OF OUR VETS. VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN

Of course the elderly should go to the front of the line. I am pregnant and thank GOD I only had to wait behind one person and then I got to vote.

How can you have lived in this country the last 8 years and still vote Republican is something I cannot understand. The U.S. NEEDS this change-a change from hate and lies that all the Republicans think is the natural order of the government. We NEED an intelligent President -not geezer and gidget -as someone said.

As a partially disabled person myself I think it's GREAT!
A vote is your voice...So be heard TODAY! Oh, and watch for more Republican dirty tricks...Remember Nixon's PLUMBERS!!!

VOTE!!!

Obama/Biden 08/12

For Rod who stated that McCain/Palin care about the unborn: what about the children already born who are suffering in our country AND in Iraq? The USA was supposed to never use cluster bombs again-well they did in Iraq and thousands of children have been maimed as a result.
My vote is for the Man who cares about ALL of the people-not just the "chosen" few.

Obama 08 & 2012

BE AWARE, ANY ATTEMPT TO DENY AN AMERICAN CITIZEN THE RIGHT TO VOTE IS AN ACT OF TREASON. FACT.

Too bad it's too late for this historic election, but we need more education for new citizens. At my polling place, there are many new citizens, mostly from Eastern Europe. There are many spoiled ballots because many of these new voters tried to vote for Obama for president but Palin for vice-president or, conversely, they liked McCain but wanted Biden for vice-president. The election judges had to explain, ad nauseum, that the presidential candidates and their running mates are a package deal and that they can't be split. I wonder how much this is occurring throughout the country.

To those who think that Obama will be "the worst disaster for America": I believe we've already HAD that, and his name is Bush II. The Republicans have run our country into the ground and it's time for new and progressive ways of thinking to prevail.

Obama/ Biden `08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is the nice thing about age ,if you are lucky enough to have a good long life YOU! will be old to some day! And then maybe some unintelligent person will think you shouldn't be able to vote either
And Most of my older friends own there homes & don't need the government to bail them out.
The last time I checked being disabled didn't know any age.

Palin: 'I pray I wake up as VP-elect'

Does she think she has a chance...oh pleeezzzeee Keep dreaming, it ain't going to happen....Just head back to moose town.

People, can we keep the comments to the issue at hand. I know we are all super-excited about the election and our own personal issues of choice, but I had to scroll 3/4 of the way down the page to read a post that was relevant to the article, aside from my own that is.

It should be that way at every Poll nation wide.

I agree with Frank Fatcherman, hopefully when Obama wins he will look at making this a new policy. Vote Obama!!

I agree that this shouldn't even be a discussion. I voted early on Saturday and waited in line for 4 hours. I would gladly and without hesitation let the elderly or disabled ahead of me. We speak of this great nation but we have a hard time showing it!

I can't believe that this could even be an issue! I have a disability, but does that affect the right that I have to choose the next president of my country? We live in AMERICA, people. Freedom of speech, freedom of choice of my next president. Clearly, my mind is sound, yet my body is injured.
And for those who recommended an IQ test for voters....well, then, the Democratic party would simply fail to exist!
McCain-Palin '08!!

Nice to see that there is civility (?word) at the polling booths towards folks that need help (no matter what their politics) – that's what we need in this country – keep moving forward – It was very nice and civilized at my polling place here in South Carolina & a beautiful day for a REAL CHANGE!!

I went to vote in Norfolk, VA at 6 AM, on crutches with a badly strained LCL and no pain killers, since I was driving myself. Everybody was very confused with what to do with me for a while. I ended up standing out in the rain that way (and boy are umbrellas hard to hold on crutches) for about 45 min. Finally, someone found the gentleman in charge of the polling place, and he ushered me up to the front of the line (which as thankfully indoors). All of the poll workers were great, offering me chairs and holding my stuff so I could negotiate the crutches and the touch screen. I'm happy for my fellow VA voters that they have cleared things up, so those is my situation, and the many that I am sure have bigger troubles getting around today, can both vote and do what they must for my health. My knee is extra sore now, but it's worth it. As I told one of the super-kind poll-workers, a whole lot of people worked lond and hard and even put their lives on the line so that I could have the right to vote, so I wasn't about to whine about a knee injury, I was just happy to exercise my right
PS: Thanks to the poll workers at the ODU/Larchmont precinct in Norfolk ! (And of course to poll workers everywhere, without you we would be lost today)

I think Gary needs a little anger management, either that or his copy/paste rights removed from his computer. Gary, I have helped a few McCain supporters this morning and I will help you. Now on the count of three say it with me 1............2................3.............President Obama. Now see, don't you feel better...you betcha (wink). Now to the topic: if you are in line and you see a disabled or elderly person and you don't let them in front of you....you are an idiot, a moran, an a– okay you get point.

Obama/Biden 2012

I think after you reach a certain age the old should be collected and have their bodies rendered down into usable chemicals for use in industry and agriculture.

I was hoping to see pictures of JOE the plumber voting , LOL, is he even registered ?VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN
Connie from Indiana

ELDERLY IN VIRGINIA.
NICE TRY. We don't buy your line of crap for a minute.
You Republican idiots should get it through your head that dirty tricks are what we will reject in this election.
I swear that these Rovian tactics and smears are what have brought this Country to it's knees.
Anyone who would do such things should be tried for treason.

Regradless of who wins, this country will still need an abundance of the one thing it was founded upon. PRAYER.

I grew up in VA and now live in California. I have long been disappointed in Virginia and VA politics and moved away from the state for their good ol' boy politics and disdain for gays. For the first time since birth I am proud to call VA home.

As Americans and as a Country we have a responsibility to come TOGETHER after this for the sake of All. The World is watching.

One Choice !!

Choose life. folks. Which party supports the rights of the unborn? Which party believes in individual freedom? Which party believes the government works for YOU, not you working for the government.

Our founding fathers would not believe how some Americans have been so lied to.

I voted McCain/Palin and I do so for the future of my children.

GARY,

The Obama supporters don't really care.
All they listen to is Obama speeches.
If they did any research on Obama and really see who this man is they would not vote for him.

Gary your correct on everything you posted.
America as we know it will change to the bad.
Obama supporters want change and I understand that but Obama is not good change.

I just hope that Obama doesn't destroy the world

Please pray!!!!!!

Posted by obama-rocks

The elderly should be voting for Obama, that way, like the rest of us they won't have to worry about paying their mortgage or any other bills. The government will take care of your every need when Obama is elected. I can't wait to stand in line for my Government cheese. All Hail OBAMA!!

God help you. Boy, are you naive.....

GARY November 4th, 2008 12:29 pm ET

OBAMA BOUGHT THIS RACE THROUGH THE MEDIA,DNC ETC. JUST REMEMEMBER.WHAT GLITTERS IS NOT ALWAYS GOLD. ALSO. WHAT YOU DONT KNOW WONT HURT YOU. OBAMA LIVES BY THIS SAYING. MCCAIN IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN KEEP OR COUNTRY SAFE.IF OBAMA GETS ELECTED IT WILL BE THE WORST DISASTER FOR AMERICA.

***************************************************************************
shut up already. the McCain/Palin rallies are over so get to your KKK meeting some other way.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 LANDSLIDE!

vote obama vote obama vote obama vote obama vote obama

Just to let you folks around the country that South Florida is having problems already with the new voting machines and voters who have been voting in their precincts have been told today that their precincts have been changed after they have waited several hours in line. Most of these have been in black areas of town .Sounds like voter suppression again to me. This folks had friends or took public transportation to get to the site....Machines not accepting their ballots because certain a amendment was on the ballot twice. One polling location told a local new station that if "someone was concerned that their voted would not be counted because a the scanner went down that they, "the election clerk would call them and that they could return back to the location to see their ballot being scanned this evening". I thought that voting was private? How are they going to call a voter and ask them to watch their ballot be counted? Since when is your ballot attached to your name?

I have called st.louis board of ellections for help as AM TRYING TO FIGURE out how to vote today. my absentee ballot did not show up. i have called for help to get there, but no one picks up the phone. i use a wheelchair and can't make the distance.
obAma money is paying for taxi cabs to get to the polls, but they are not accessable. i used to work elections, so they know i am republican. no ballot and no way to get to polls.but, i will figure something out. i have voted each ellection since i was 18. no time to stp now. this stinks.

this should not even be a discussion., Let the old people fo to the front of the line.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In response to Stu Padaso Do we really want the elderly and disabled voting?

Yes, WE DO, otherwise McCain could not cast a ballot

My sister and son both have a disability and both went out and voted today. Being elderly and or having a disability has nothing to do with their ability to rationize that McCain/Palin would be disaster for this country. They voted for someone who can bring hope someone who is looking to reunite this country after 8 years of fear and smear from the GOP

I'm in Richmond , Virginia, and though I did have a very long wait the elderly and disabled I saw were treated very well. Poll workers came out regularly to announce that anybody over 65, disabled or pregnant could come wait in the cafeteria, where they could sit down. They also walked around offering folding chairs to others waiting in line and helped older people negotiate the stairs in front of the (older, not up to ADA code) school.

My husband and I voted this morning and their was an elderly couple in front of us, she waited until she was close to the door and asked us if it was alright to retrieved her husband in a wheel chair. It is hard for them to vote and they even brought the touchscreen down to him.

There was not a long line when we got there, but when we left there was....

So I voted for Obama/.Biden.

I'm an elderly voter in Virginia, and the poll workers were so sweet and helpful to me. They even helped me decide on who to vote for. I was pretty sure that I was going to vote McCain, but the sweet young man at the polls convinced me to select the Obama fellow. He felt so strongly, I guess he knew what he was talking about.

Stu Padaso...every vote counts, even the elderly and disabled. See how you would feel if YOU could not vote because you're old and disabled.

This morning at my voting location in Arlington, VA... there was a few elderly voters pulled out of the line and helped out by election officials to chairs in the actual room where the voting machines are. Also, they were asked if they needed help actually voting. The eldery are actually getting some help in VA.

I was thinking about that in Arlington Virginia,because of the wait..the elderly and the disabled should be well treated...also people that suffers from low blood pressure..if the wait is long they can faint....

GARY,
Lighten up. The day is upon us. Vote your concience, watch the returns and then remember we are all Americans.
It seems to me that it was people like you who are fond of saying that
"You have to stand behind the president, like him or not."
The shoe is on the other foot now, so if you really meant that, then follow your own advice.
We will need the unity of our nation to get out of this mess. To be divisive after the election would truly be unAmerican.

Even in my little precinct in small-town Virginia, there was a station set up for those with special needs – it amounted to at least 10% of the available stations. While the rest of us used the 'scan-tron' method of filling in the bubbles, the one station was set up for touch-screen voting to make the process as simple as possible.
______________________________________
Oh – George – your posting has no bearing on this article – why waste everyone's time??

thats great!!

I'm in a wheelchair and voted this morning after waiting in line just like everyone else for a very short 1.25 hours.

COME ON YOU SWEET ELDERLY PEOPLE BARACK THE VOTE!!!

In Indiana elderly and disabled folks get to go to the front of the line.

I've wondered how my mother-in-law, whom suffers with arthritic knees, is supposed to stand in line for hours in the rain today.

However, voting at her station in Richmond, she was in and out within a half an hour.

Norfolk polling station at Bolling has a line out the door. Some have been waiting for hours.

My concern was for those waiting in long lines with no priority for elderly and/or disabled. I'm healthy and had no problem standing in line for an hour and a half but felt for the gentleman in front of me who was having difficulty standing with only his cane for support and the gentleman farther up with a back brace.

Why is this even an issue? did they NOT THINK that the disabled/elderly did not vote? They should have had accomodations in place LONG before this day happened...

What a mess?

Do we really want the elderly and disabled voting?

they do, wheelchair accessible booths in most places.

I'm just concerned that the "help" they get will be "just check THIS box"...
Why else would political party hacks be wandering the halls of Alzheimer wards with absentee ballots?

At 6:30 AM, in a pouring rain, election officials in Hampton, VA were walking up and down a long line of voters asking if there were any elderly and handicapped voters needing help. Those who did were sent to the front of the line. Nice to see.

I hope this includes access to Spanish-language ballots and instruction as well – many registered, legal, first-time voters could use the help!

John & Sarah repent of your evil greedy republican ways and accept the Savior. Please turn out the lights...your party is over!

Seniors and the disabled get priority seating in public transportation, how come they don't have a booth that gives priority to seniors/disabled?

Good !! Now get ALL the votes counted correctly. Thanks.

I still think a sanity or IQ test for everyone should be a requirement.

And an option for those in hospitals (car accidents, pregnancy etc.)

That's great to know that the elderly and the disable are not being disenfranchised!

Let's get out and VOTE people!

PLEASE AMERICA LET'S REJECT THE VILE POLITICS OF THE REPUBLICANS!

HOPE TRUMPS FEAR & HATE!
