From an untenured prof who wishes to remain anonymous:
Jonah,
Just voted in Athens, OH, a Democratic stronghold in this state. Lines
at my polling place weren’t long, and it took my wife and me only 10
minutes to get through line and vote for Bush. A colleague who lives
in the country outside Athens just walked in and said that she was
first in line at her polling place at 8:30 AM, and I noticed is that
there were not (as of 7:00 AM) visible lines at Ohio University’s
Convocation Center, where most of the students and many Athenians vote.
There may end up being a massive young voter turnout, but it wasn’t
evident this morning, despite two visits to the university from Michael
Moore within the last month. I do know that there have been a lot of
ads on the local stations denouncing Republicans for trying to deprive
students their votes and announcing on-campus sites where students can
cast provisional ballots.
