| Name: | Kate | | Voted at: | Jackson Mann School | | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | | How crowded? | Long line, but very disorganized. The poll workers let everyone stand in the line for one precinct instead of splitting people up and moving us through faster. | | Presidential choice in '08? | John Edwards | | Other comments: | There's never brownies or treats where I vote! |
| Name: | Nina | | Voted at: | Jackson-Mann School | | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | | How crowded? | Went at 6:45 am to get there before the crowds...there was already a line, but it went quickly once they opened the polls. | | Presidential choice in '08 | Hilary Rodham Clinton | | Other comments: | |
| Name: | Saul Firm | | Voted at: | Jackson Mann | | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | | How crowded? | It was a breeze. I like to pretend that Election Day means I can be late for work, so I slept in and voted around 9:30 and it was pretty much empty. My employer hasn't said anything about that yet, but I don't really care if he does. | | Presidential choice in '08? | Al Sharpton | | Other comments: | Election Day should be a national holiday, that way more people would vote and appreciate what voting means. |
| Name: | Katherine | | Voted at: | Jackson Mann School | | Voted for: | Christy Mihos | | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | | How crowded? | Very crowded at 9am--I walked past the Taft School to get to my polling place, and they had a large crowd as well. No huge lines though, very well managed. (I was especially impressed with their handling of a disgruntled voter who was giving them a difficult time--very swiftly and maturely handled.) | | Presidential choice in '08 | Haven't a clue | | Other comments: | I know this sounds petty, but I'm originally from New York State, where we used lever machines for voting (when I was little, I couldn't wait until I was old enough to pull the levers!) I feel the lever machines are better in terms of privacy and the ability to go back and change a vote before you enter your ballot, although I do recognize that you can accomidate so many more voters at one time with the Scantron system used here. |
| Name: | Allen | | Voted at: | Town Hall | | Voted for: | No selection | | Most signs were for: | No selection | | How crowded? | ~ 7:30 not empty, short quick lines unless you needed to use one of the two touch screens. 1 was donw the other seemed ot be malfunctioning. | | Presidential choice in '08? | Jon Daly | | Other comments: | All poll workers were very professional & friendly and doing their best to be helpful with those needing the Touch Screens. Acording to one poll worker the TouchScreens worked great when initially tested. There were two "technicians" trying to get them working, they were on the cell phone and pulling out manuals (not a good sign). |
| Name: | Lori | | Voted at: | Town Hall | | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | | How crowded? | Long lines | | Presidential choice in '08 | Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton | | Other comments: | Get out and vote! Your vote does count! :-) |

Congressman Olver was there waiting to cast his vote. | | Presidential choice in '08 | Al Gore | | Other comments: | I'm reading this morning all the trouble around the country over electronic voting machines. Since the 2000 election, I've been especially impressed with opscan voting used in my town. Why isn't this the standard? Electronic tallies supported by immutable paper records are the easiest means of voting I've experienced. |
| Name: | Faye | | Voted at: | Andover High School | | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | | How crowded? | Not really but I was there early (7:30).

Republicans are getting to party driven ,people want the best leader not just because your from one party . I'm in commercial sales in eastern Mass and have seen alot of business move out of state or close in the last 6 years ,Massachusetts needs new leadership with ideas to bring business back to the Commonwealth .The other question that bother me Healey said she going to lower our taxes ,why in the 5 or more years after we voted to cut income tax didn't they do it during Roomey and Healey ? Just political lies by Healey 1/2 % of $100,000 is only $500 less income tax . My wifes house taxes when up $2000 plus per year in the last six years. |

Hudak II | | Voted at: | Andover High School | | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | | How crowded? | There was a steady flow of people, but no tie-ups.

I bet quite a few people people didn't even see it. Did the town publish something to the effect that this would be on the ballot in Arlington? |

| Name: | Bill | | Voted at: | Orchard Gardens Elementary School | | Voted for: | Grace Ross | | Most signs were for: | No selection | | How crowded? | It was busy, but I received my ballot in under 5 minutes. | | Presidential choice in '08 | Barack Obama/John Edwards | | Other comments: | . My girlfriend voted at the same place 2 hours before me, and she claimed poll workers were telling people in line to have their photo IDs ready. Last time I checked, this is not required under Massachusetts law(Ch. 54 Sec.76). I didn't witness this while I was there, so perhaps this issue was addressed. |

| Name: | Bud | | Voted at: | YWCA | | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | | How crowded? | I voted at 7:15. There was a long line. The voting place acRoss the stree also had a long line almost down to Tremont Street. I had to wait about 15 minutes to vote | | Presidential choice in '08 | Anyone but Kerry | | Other comments: | The Boston ballots use black markers to fill in the circles. If you notice the marker goes right through the ballots. I question how that affects the voting process. They also give you a "cover" to put your ballot in. If you look at the "cover" it has black marks all over it from voters who previously put their freshly marked ballots in it. I'm always afraid that the black ink residue will taint my ballot so I don't use the "covers" |

| Name: | Court | | Voted at: | Myles Standish Hall | | Voted for: | Kerry Healey | | Most signs were for: | No selection | | How crowded? | Line to check out was the most time consuming part of the voting experience. Absolutely NO signs or anyone outside the polling place this AM around 7:15. | | Presidential choice in '08 | Guiliani | | Other comments: | |

| Name: | Elaine K. | | Voted at: | Ben Frankline Institute (South End) | | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | | How crowded? | Very crowded - took 50 minutes to vote. Line went out the door and around the block. There was only one person checking people in. | | Presidential choice in '08 | Feingold, Capuano | | Other comments: | Please remember to vote for your local and city elections too. Local government affects you directly, too! |

| Name: | Margaret | | Voted at: | Gavin School | | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | | Most signs were for: | No selection | | How crowded? | No one was ahead of me when I got there, but by the time I left there were about 20 people in line. | | Presidential choice in '08 | Barack Obama/Hillary Clinton | | Other comments: | There weren't too many people with signs where I voted. The campaign run by Healy was appallingly negative and was borderline liabelous. In the years I've been in Massachusetts (all under republican control), crime has risen, property taxes have risen, and most importantly we've lost cornerstones of our business community. It's time for a change. If higher taxes will support better education and police work, I am all for it. Perhaps Patrick will play to our strengths in the business community and open up Massachusetts to biotech and energy companies. |
| Name: | Nick | | Voted at: | School on D Street. | | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | | Most signs were for: | No selection | | How crowded? | There were very few people at the polls at 8 AM and no lines. | | Presidential choice in '08? | Not sure yet. | | Other comments: | I voted for Grace because her ideas made the most sense to me.

| Name: | Paul | | Voted at: | Church of St Matthew & the Redeemer | | Voted for: | Grace Ross | | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | | How crowded? | Very busy | | Presidential choice in '08 | Al Gore | | Other comments: | Healey's campaign was appauling. Enough is enough and I hope voters indicate this at the polls. The Republican attack method is disgusting. The only thing it does is take away from the issues and confuses voters. |

I was too scared to take one, but god did I want one of those chocolate glazed! |

The lines were confusing as the list was divided but nothing told the voters which line they should be in. | | Presidential choice in '08 | John McCain | | Other comments: | Don't forget to vote for Ken Prochachianti in the North End, South End, and Chinatown. Sal Dimasi wouldn't debate him and therefore does not deserve to represent anyone. |

| Name: | Marika | | Voted at: | Miles Standish Hall at BU | | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | | How crowded? | Started to get crowded as I was leaving.

I must've voted quickly because I was the first to cast my ballot. | | Presidential choice in '08 | John McCain | | Other comments: | This is my first election as a Massachusetts resident. I come from the Midwest, it is sad to see the Republicans only focus on a few key races and leave everything else to the Democrats to take for free. |
