Expected bonhomie on the streets. Got only a few smiles at the poll. Wish I lived downtown; I expect voting feels more vibrant there.

Voted in Fitchburg- voter 751 around 10. The line was long, but moved quickly. Do other polling places have as many election observers?

FYI: twitter seems to have problems with some cellular services setting up the mobile devices. You may have to use the actual web!
By: donges (donges) @ 11/03/2008 8:41pm
If you see problems at the polls, post it here!

Could election day traffic overwhelm Twitter? It's already operating strangely and it's only Monday!

Use the '#tdp' tag at the beginning of your Twitter posts and they'll appear, as if by magic, on TheDailyPage.com.
