Keep'em coming, folks. This is great stuff!
From Luke Reasoner, sports copy editor/designer: From James Island Precinct 15 at James Island Middle.
It wasn't too bad. Took about an hour for me to stand in line (this was 10 a.m.). However, it was a disappointing for some who stood with me, as several people - I didn’t catch anyone's name - who were voting in James Island Precinct 9 were actually at the wrong polling location. According to several others, in the past both precincts (9 and 15) voted here at James Island Middle. And it wasn’t until we got to the front of the line that those in 9 were told they had to vote at Fort Johnson Middle. Of course a few choice words where heard as many just wanted to get this process over with.
The only complaint I have is with the voters. A lot of people seemed to have a lack of patience during this historic election. But at the same time, I am glad that many people came out to vote this year.
All-in-all, I know the people running this have to be overwhelmed and they should all be commended for doing the best they can.
On a lighter note, the longest line I waited in today was the line for the free Chick-fil-A sandwich. What a mistake that was trying to go at noon. I guess I learned my lesson on that one.
