I just returned from voting for John McCain in the Virginia GOP primary. Lines were longer than expected, but not horribly so–I was in and out in 15 minutes. My area splits down the middle between Republicans and Democrats, maybe tipping slightly toward Republicans, but Democrat turnout today is much, much higher than Republican turnout. At least that’s my sense of it, based on the party ID cards that people pick up and drop off in baskets after they vote. The Democrat basket was really filling up, and the Republican one was close to empty.
