Maybe the title is misleading.....I didn't live here in 2008 so I can't personally compare today against last time. But Madison usually has a very solid level of participation, and I have never seen anything like today before in my life!
I got to my poll at 6:45am, fifteen minutes before opening. I was the 79th person in line and didn't get out until 7:15. At a senior center just a few blocks off the Capitol Square, the line was out the door and around the block at 7:30. And coworkers say that they've never wilted in line before and today had waits up to half an hour.
I'm at work and typing this on my iPad, so I probably won't comment much. But I'd love to hear hw my fellow Wisconsinites see things. I'll be here reading!
