Re: how busy are polling places?

["Joe Pezzillo" <jpezzillo@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just did a "walk-by" of the two precincts near me, Bethel United 
Church at 19th and Glenwood and Columbine Elementary.

Neither appeared to have any line. Both of them had MoveOn volunteers 
and Bethel also had a DNC volunteer.

I heard someone (might have been a passerby, not necessarily one of the 
volunteers) at one of them saying that the early vote turnout for that 
precinct had been 40%.

PS - I early voted Friday morning at the Clerk's office on 33rd (saw 
Linda and got to say hello!), I was there a couple minutes after 7am, 
and the line was basically all the way around the north side of the 
building at that time. The day before, I'd been downtown and observed a 
line that stretched from the Courthouse East door to the mall in the 
early afternoon and was still close to 80% of that line at a few 
minutes before 6pm when I went by again.
