From Facebook status updates:

hour! now the waiting....jeeeeze!
- "MD" went to vote twice but gagged at the HUGE line. Trying again shortly...
- "EP" is going to vote for باراك أوباما. Workers of the world, unite!
- "GH" was not impressed with the polling officials' competency after the voting machine broke 3 people ahead of him.
- "JM" is knocking on doors in Philly and everyone is voting! This is fantastic.
- "MH" saw a stunning Keri Russell on the subway on the way in to vote!
- "WR" is jealous that his roommates met barry at the polls while he had to vote by absentee. that's president barry, btw.
From text messages:
- "I have been in line for 3 hours. I feel like I am trying to get into the limelight."
- "I swear I just saw 3 hipsters walk out from the district 52 booth at the same time."
From email:
- "voted and came to work. called my brother to see if he voted, after
telling me that "he did not have time to vote" i started crying and
telling him how ungrateful he is for having the right to vote and not
taking advantage of it. i was so close to saying something like i bet
your stupid bitch wife voted for mccane and now he's one vote ahead."
- "I pray after today Happy Days Are Here Again!"
