We'll see what our hosts choose, but I'd go with PBS, MSNBC, and a widget or two. The CNN widget was advertised as you being able to pick your races to watch, but they only cover certain races and only two of the CA props (8 and 4, the abortion-parent-notification one).

ETA - oh yeah, Indecision 2008! Definitely would check that out.

We are a voting location for 2 precints (sp?). The polls opened at 7am - the first guy was there at 6:20. He said last year he had to wait a while and didn't want to this year. (although if he was voting at our location last year, I find that hard to believe as it was dead. This is the first time we are hosting for 2 areas.)

By the time 7am rolled around, there were about 30-40 people in line. Not too bad.

I spent a lot of time blowing up balloons with helium and setting out 1/2 off furniture and accessory signs. Hoping we get some sales from the voters on their way out.

No sign wavers outside. But probably 10 different local election signs popped up overnight at the end of the street.

I have to wait until this afternoon to vote.

Long line at the polling place on Crescent Heights and Fountain.

Crap, I should set the TiVo to record that just in case we miss it.

Took about an hour to vote. Took 45 minutes to get from the 100ft marker to the voting booth.

I was there right at 7, with about 50-60 people in front of me. There were 12 booths set up.

Same for me.

Though I cannot find the specific law, no campaigning is allowed with a certain distance (100 feet?). In some states, this means you can't even where a "No on 8" pin or your Obama T-Shirt into the polling place when you vote.

Right now all the polls are open.
Hawai'i opened 48 mins ago.

What about American Samoa?

We're just back from voting, where we were in line for an hour and ten minutes. And this is the first time I have ever encountered any line at all voting in LA.

I'll try to post the pictures I took later. It took my camera phone three photos, taken from across the street, to get the full length of the line.

The residents of American Samoa cannot vote in national elections.

They only vote in primaries.
