    I voted Saturday. There was a line over a mile long no exageration. Wife is disabled so we got in front was in & out. Disability itself is sad in its own way but sure has its advantages.

    Same here. I am working nights..... booo. That let me pick a time and there was no line at any of the 3 stops it took to vote. When I walked out, there were about half a dozen in line.
    After voting my wife and I went to breakfast. For some reason the pancake place was packed. We went to another, and it was full also. For some reason the school district declared a holiday.
    Is this too close to partisan?

    PS - there is no reason for the different sizes other than my photo pasting skills (or lack of them).

    Is the election rigged? I dont think so, but here's one blatant example (NOT an election though):

    I just got back from voting, too. Everything I hear suggests that it's going to be a close election--close to half of everyone who votes today will be disappointed, some, bitterly so.

    To help assuage the rancor, I suggest we go back to the spirit of my original post: Who's your favorite WORST Roman emperor?

    Here's mine:
