... in such a tight race is that all available personnel with own transportation are being pressed into service delivering elderly/infirm (or otherwise reluctant to travel in the poor weather) voters to the polls.

Voting after Work

At Holy Name in West Roxbury (for Coakley). When I was taking the bus in this morning there were a ton of Coakley signs by the Greek church, and only one Brown sign.
but it was homemade
and *that's* what has me worried.
I don't think you'll see annnnny homemade Coakley signs anywhere.

I was voter 907 - constant stream going in and out. Matt O'Malley holding a Coakley sign and one man holding a Brown sign. Maura Hennigan was at Forest Hills handing out Coakley literature. God bless anyone for holding campaign signs.
As for myself, I voted Khazei in the primary (was really tied between he and Capuano), Coakley tonight. I'd love for the Mass Democratic party to stay the hell out of primaries going forward.
MA Dem Party favored Coakley in primary? info please!

"I'd love for the Mass Democratic party to stay the hell out of primaries going forward."
You're second person on Uhub I've heard say the Mass Democratic party influenced the democratic party by favoring Coakley. How do yo know that? How did they do it?

Small line at 8:30 am. Got checked out as usual by the cop who doesn't understand alphabetizing thus looks at every page to find each voter's address. He even shuts the book after each voter, so he has to totally start over at the front when the next voter is at the same address as the last one.

About 340 voters in my precinct voted before me at 3:00PM: I have have no info to gauge the turnout. It was quiet inside, just me a couple of voters and poll workers.
No signs, no one standing around. This race will be one with the GOTV effort. Campaign workers are driving voters and phone banking to GOTV.
(I'm curious how the UHub readers voted since their favored candidate in the primary was not on the ballot in the special election. What percentage of the Capuano, Khazie and Pagluica voters voted today? Did they all vote Coakley?)
I voted at Patrick Lyndon too

I voted at Patrick Lyndon too (20-12) and there were 465 votes at around 4:30. I don't usually vote at this time, so I don't know if that's high turnout or not, but I think it is.
I voted for Khazei during the primary and (relunctantly) voted for Coakley now.

I voted for Khazei in the primary (real life and the UHub poll) and Coakley in the booth today. Surprise, right?

Voter #502 at around 5:30. For that precinct, it's pretty good. I wish people took every election this seriously.

City Hall 30 people in line when I started, 30 in line when I was done.
Funny thing is there are more people registered for my building who no longer live
here then there are currently living here. 6 resident, probably 8-10 registered
who don't live here. We don't have a huge turn over, but I am the only one
to be here before mid 2005 and last to move in was late 2007.
Anyway, I always scan the list so I can smugly say
that I was the only one to vote from my building. I was a little surpised
when I saw several check marks for my building. The people doing the checking
are pretty efficient today so I wasn't able to see much, but I swear I saw a
check mark next to the name of someone who moved out in 2005. Perhaps he
just wanted to use his registration for this election. But I don't think
so. Don't know He had lost his job and seemed to be interested in living
anywhere but here when I talked to him just before he left. Like I said I had
a very short time to scan the list so I could have misinterpreted.

So, where are the parties, tonight?
Scott Brown's party is in the suburbs, I thought. What about Madame Coakley?
Nope... Park Plaza!

The clip on "Greater Boston" looked like it was in the Castle.
Coakley's event (not listed on her website, GRRRR) seems to be at the Sheraton Boston.

Steady trickle of voters.
No signs or supporters.

My wife voted at the Lower Mills library around 9am. I breezed through around noon. Both of us saw no line, hardly anybody there, and no sign of the usual suspects outside the polls--hell, I saw more Coakley signs in November.
Well, at least if Brown wins, nobody can blame me for not doing my part. My last act of civic duty as a Massachusettsian.
