Back in the day during primaries and generals folks here at DKos would post an open thread where all voting experiences could go.

I always enjoyed those diaries. They were a great place to get a lot of different little vignettes about voting experiences.

Therefore, I am starting one today folks to have one place where they can share their stories about what happened at the polls this morning, this afternoon, this evening.

Personally, I live in the financial district in lower Manhattan and folks were lined up out the door and up the block on Wall Street (yes people vote on Wall Street) at the polling station near my building. Therefore I will just vote late tonight. Probably closer to 9pm since I still have no phone/cable/internet so I will probably follow results on here using my phone.

Co-workers here in NYC are sharing stories of very long lines around the City despite power issues etc,

What's your experience? Long lines, Buzz on down ticket races?

I wish I could say why it has taken me so long to write a dairy. I have been actively reading DailyKos since the 2002 midterm elections. It was a tough time for democrats and for liberals and kos’ point of view was a true Voice in the Wilderness. He kept me sane. The country was losing its collective mind I found a community of people who not only had not lost their mind, but were making sense, DailyKos was there for me the day after election day 2004 in that dark, dark time. I was here in 2006 when we took back the House and Senate. I was here during the Obama/Edwards/Hillary wars. I was here, and admittedly drifted away a but when diary after diary attacked our President during the health care debacle.

Who am I? I am 40-something guy. I live here in NYC with my partner and two dogs, I have been closely following politics since 1980 when I was ten-years old. I dove in and devoured all news of the Democratic and Republican primaries voraciously. I was a HUGE fan of John Anderson, the liberal Republican who ran as an independent in 1980. In fact, I often think I was part of a visionary 7%. But that aside I have been hooked since then.
