| Heavy turnout and long lines at polling places around the Lowcountry are either signs of a vibrant democracy or poor planning, depending on who you ask this morning. Voters are reporting waits of two hours or more to cast their ballots at some polling stations. John Mack of North Charleston said he waited over an hour at Burns Elementary School on Dorchester Road just to check in with poll workers because they had just one computer on hand to verify voters. Some 200 people were standing out in the cold and rain, he said.

Comments: More machines than 2008 and the cold and rainy wait was still over an hour shortly after our local fire station opened up at 7 a.m.

Chesterfield MO -- not long lines this morning at 7 0 or at 10 0 at Parkway West High School ... but my wife and I agreed that the voting machines always had somebody voting...no empty machines waiting for voters.

Chicago reporting here----
Our wards and precints were changed---went to the new assigned voting location.
Man assigned to look up our names in thick book only had one arm and when he tried to change pages could-not because pages would flip without 2nd hand to hold pages down.
Then found that he didn't know the alphabet so he could not find any names in the book.
We asked a 2nd person at the table to help him and found that she didn't speak English so she was just as bad.
We could have picked any two pages from the book and tell them that was us and they wouldn't know the difference.
This is America???

I voted about 6:45 this morning and was #6 in my district, no waiting. Several others were there and for each one who left another one came in. Now I'm on my way to work, won't get home until 9 pm so I won't hear anymore which is good, because I remember too well the disappointment of 2008.

I always vote around 9:30 am. There was a line about 8 deep when normally it's walk in and vote. I sized up the crowd and they were mostly Romney voters. I predict a too big to cheat victory for R/R.

Reporting from Springfield, VA: I don't normally vote until after work, but having taken the day off to be home for a visit from the drywall repairman (who I am still waiting for), I stopped by my polling place to vote after dropping my son off at school this morning. I got in line with the homemakers and retirees, made my way to the check-in table (ID required- Yes!), was sent to another table where I had to choose between electronic voting machine or paper ballot (paper? hanging chads? in Virginia?are you kidding me?). The line for the machines was much longer but it moved quickly. I cast my vote for Mitt, George Allen,and the GOP House candidate and answered 6 ballot questions (5 yes, 1 no) and was out the door in about a half hour. Not too bad. Since this wasn't my usual voting time I can't speak to whether this was normal or not for the time of day, but my precinct leaning left, I suspect it was average to less than average. Virginia goes to Romney.

My observation from the midwest - I chose mid-morning because we usually don't get big crowds at that time of day. Today, for the first time I saw the parking lot FULL & there was a long line to vote. I spoke to a neighbor (poll worker) & she said that there was a long line at six a.m. Unusual for this area. I am reminded of the "turn-out" at Chick-Fil-A in Aug.

We waited until 11 am to go to our precinct to vote here in Ohio. Two people in front of us checking in and about three waiting in front of them with the voting machine cards to vote. It was a 20 minute process in total.
I had dressed in layers because it was sunny but in the 40's, and I thought we'd be standing in line outside. I was so happy to walk right in and git 'er done for R/2.

NYC ... I just got back from voting. We had three precincts in one polling place ... and there were lines at each table. They had about 8 booths set up to mark ballots. I don't recall how many scanners.
The poll workers were doing an excellent job of keeping things moving along.
The really long lines here will be tonight when people get home from work.

It took me 3 minutes to vote at noon in Georgia in a majority black district. One minute to fill out the form, 30 seconds for the pole worker to check to see I wasn't using a Kenyan drivers license, 30 seconds to stick the plastic ballot in the machine, and 1 minute to click RR. There were 10 voting machines and I was the only one using it at the time. Don't know what this means. But I will refuse to watch any election coverage and will click lucianne.com @ noon tomorrow to find out what happens.

There were long, long lines where we voted mid-morning here in the Missouri Ozarks! It touched our hearts to see so many of our elderly neighbors there, many in wheelchairs with their sons & daughters. It is VERY important to people around here to vote, especially in this important election, the outcome of which is so vital to the future of our county, State and America the Beautiful!

Here in south Florida I hear that there are long lines at some places and short ones at others. Miami-Dade County is Democrat but the only long lines seemed to be in Hialeah, which is Cuban. It has been said that Florida will go Republican with the Cubans and Jews putting Romney over the top. There are long lines on Miami Beach, heavily Jewish. In Parkland which is affluent and heavily Jewish there are long lines. In 2008 most houses there had an Obama sign on the front lawn. Not one has been seen this time.
My daughter and son in law voted early voting and went at a time when a Dolphin game was on TV so they did not have to wait very long.
It looke like a Romney win to me. Last time I went to the polls was 2008. This year, now almost 91, I finally voted absentee.

COLUMBIA—South Carolina’s unemployment agency will lay off 100 employees in June as part of a statewide reorganization that directs anyone seeking jobless benefits to use its upgraded online system, the agency’s interim director announced. John Finan said the Department of Employment and Workforce will eliminate one-on-one help with unemployment claims on June 10, and the number of local offices offering job training and other re-employment services will shrink. Exactly how many of those 56 offices remain open past June will depend on decisions made by the state’s 12 workforce investment boards, he said.

A single half-muffled bell will toll from St Paul’s to greet the funeral cortege of Baroness Thatcher on Wednesday. In front of the coffin, Michael and Amanda Thatcher will lead the procession for their beloved grandmother. They will carry on cushions the Order of the Garter and the Order of Merit, two of the highest honours the Queen can bestow. [Snip] The ceremonial funeral, meticulously planned by the former prime minister, reveals her profound Christian faith. A strong Methodist upbringing was the bedrock from which Lady Thatcher built her political creed of self-reliance and personal responsibilty.

So what will be remembered as the biggest political event of spring 2013? Naturally the death of Lady Thatcher must be the prime candidate. But there is another that has thus far consumed only a tiny proportion of the column inches that have rightly been expended on the passing of the Iron Lady yet may have more pro found and longerlasting consequences. I speak of the rise and rise of Ukip. The Eastleigh by-election, in which Ukip sensationally beat the Conservatives to second place, has of course registered in the national political consciousness.

This is written in haste, at the end of a day full of meetings. But British readers must know about the case of Dr Kermit Gosnell, which has been played down in the American media – possibly because the allegations of a homicidal abortion doctor don´t fit into their pro-choice narrative. The following quotes are taken from Conor Friedersdorf´s report in The Atlantic. You will need a strong stomach, but I urge you to read it all. The grand jury report in the case of Dr Kermit Gosnell, 72, is among the most horrifying I´ve read. "This case is about

Its flavour may be more gentle than a conventional clove, but wild garlic adds a sweet pungency to many springtime dishes. Last spring a friend left a carrier bag hanging on my door. I could smell what was inside before I looked. She had returned from Wales with armfuls of wonderful wild garlic: green, lush and overwhelmingly pungent. Foragers have long known of wild garlic, also known as ´ramsons´ or ´ramps´ (Allium ursinum). In 1972 in Food for Free, Richard Mabey noted that ´for those who like their garlic strong, ramsons will prove magnetic´.

Pro golfers, golf writers, and TV commentators are up in arms that Tiger Woods was only given a 2-stroke penalty for his illegal drop on the 15th hole yesterday. Tiger said last night that he dropped his ball two yards behind his previous spot, clearly violating the rule that you must drop "as nearly as possible" to your original spot. Golf people are not happy about it. They say that the new rule is B.S. (or it´s at least being misinterpreted), and Tiger should DQ himself to save the integrity of the game.

In Philadelphia, at a human abattoir on Lancaster Avenue, is where it ends, not where it starts. It starts with the perversion of language. It starts when the icons of a dissipated culture reduce a baby to a “fetus.” From there, Yeats’s blood-dimmed tide rolls rapidly in. Before long, a baby is not a person but a punishment, as President Barack Obama framed the matter in his familiar off-the-cuff iciness. Of course, to describe newborn children in their boundless possibilities and wonder would be to acknowledge, foremost, their humanity. That is why, instead, abortion enthusiasts must grope for words

But eight former employees of a run-down West Philadelphia abortion clinic now face prison time for the work they did for Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Three have pleaded guilty to third-degree murder. And Gosnell, 72, is on trial in the deaths of a patient and seven babies allegedly born alive. In testimony at the capital murder trial this past month, an unlicensed doctor and untrained aides described long, chaotic days at the clinic. They said they performed grueling, often gruesome work for little more than minimum wage,

With President Obama, there’s always a catch. In the 2014 budget he announced last week, Obama proposed a more accurate way of calculating the inflation rate for annual cost-of-living increases in Social Security. It’s a technical change in pursuit of honesty and good government. And if adopted, it would cause benefits to grow more slowly, though almost imperceptibly so. Republican leaders in Congress ought to be delighted since they had “championed”—Obama’s word—the idea in the first place. Then came the catch. The president’s price for adopting this gentle reform was hundreds of billions in new tax increases.

Only one of my six children has left New York for economic reasons but the strain of living in this expensive nanny state is weighing heavy on my other five and their families. As a native New Yorker, I´ve seen its middle class population decline over the years due to its neglect of blue collar families which is ironic since this is a Democrat city. With the recent arrests of several local politicians for corruption perhaps New Yorkers will pay more attention to those they put in office. Given their past indifference in local elections this is highly unlikely.
