The View From Your Election: West Virginia
A reader writes:
I live in Huntington, West Virginia and voted this morning at my polling place,
the basement of a church. I could read bible verses painted on the walls
while I waited. It took about 45 minutes, and I was mostly surrounded by
older, white voters. Chatting
with the poll workers revealed that it had been busy all morning, and
that they expected to break records for this polling place. All of my
previous experiences there have been in and out, in the time it takes
to sign in and read a ballot. There was a substantial line this
morning. I suspect, from my experience having lived and voted here
since I turned 18, that most of them were not voting for Obama.
Not that I really expected Obama to win West Virginia, nor do I expect
Obama to lose the election, but the increased turnout may cut both ways.
