Name: | Kate | Voted at: | Jackson Mann School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | Long line, but very disorganized.

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). Heard there was a long line when they opened at 7:00 though. | Presidential choice in '08? | Don't know but definately not Mitt. | Other comments: | Most of the signs that early were for the Questions (mostly 3) and not the candidates. only saw one candidate sign and it was for Deval. |

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. |

There were even parking spaces. | Presidential choice in '08? | John Edwards | Other comments: | Andover is characterized by widespread voting regularities! A word about my candidate: he's the real deal. I saw him talking with voters after an appearance in Lowell. He's genuinely concerned about them. He's authentic. |

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.

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: | 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.

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.

Name: | Matthew O'Connor | Voted at: | Jackson Mann School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | It was much more crowded than the primary, which is expected, but even the poll workers commented how brisk it was around 10:45am.

Campaigners with cards for Patrick and Healy and a guy with a "no on 1" sign were right outside the doorway which I thought wasn't allowed (other sign holders were acRoss the street). There was a Spanish language interpreter on sight for anyone who needed it. |

We couldn't drum up one local republican to at least make it interesting? I would not vote for Brian Wallace for anything. We've become lazy in Massachusetts and these fat cats are just going through the motions to keep their career jobs. Isn't anyone out there that can dump these lumps? |

The cop was reading his newspaper! | Presidential choice in '08? | Not sure | Other comments: | Automatic ballot counter box was malfunctioning when I was there. We were directed to place ballot in a slot further down on ballot box so my ballot was not automatically counted. Therefore , I don't know what number voter I was.

I almost voted for Healey as a symbolic vote against the moonbat but decided against doing that. p.s. I doubt Bucanan is running, but he's the only one who has been right from the beginning on the major issues of our time: Iraq war; immigration; terrorism; middle east; trade; cultural issues. |
Name: | James | Voted at: | South Middle | Voted for: | Kerry Healey | Most signs were for: | No selection | How crowded? | About average for what I'm used to | Presidential choice in '08 | very undecided...Giuliani ?, McCain ?, Romney ? | Other comments: | Sad thing is that this campaign deteriorated into a game of who smiled more and who had the least offensive ads...but it wouldn't be a Governor's race without all that...I'm fairly sure if you polled the citizens on issues alone, blind to candidate, Healey would be the pick...unfortunately, she couldn't fare as an actual living, breathing candidate. As for '08, right-center GOP is where I'm leaning, ESPECIALLY if San Fran Nan is still Madam Speaker at that point... |

Turnout looks to be incredibly strong. I think voters are tired of 16-years of governance by leaders who don't stay in the job long enough to fix things. |
Name: | Channtal | Voted at: | Driscoll Elementary | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | I waited in line for about 5 minutes at around 8:30 but lots of people were arriving. | Presidential choice in '08? | Barack Obama! | Other comments: | |

It took me about 15 minutes to complete the entire process. | Presidential choice in '08 | Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton | Other comments: | Having so many people at the polls that early in the morning lent an air of festivity. Everyone was greeting their friends. |

Great turnout, go Deval! | Presidential choice in '08? | Barack, Al Gore, or a new Dem with fresh ideas! | Other comments: | I agree with Keith in Amherst - the opscan voting, which we also had in Brookline, is definitely the way to go. I'm very frustrated (on behalf of voters in other states) that we are still having problems with machines in key states acRoss the country - it's discouraging would-be voters and marring the election. It shouldn't be this hard to cast a vote! |
Name: | Justin Ryan | Voted at: | Runkle School | Voted for: | Kerry Healey | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | Pretty crowded, yes. Got there just before 7 am with long lines for both precincts 12 and 13 of Brookline. | Presidential choice in '08 | John McCain | Other comments: | I was probably about 35th or so in line at 7 am that snaked out the gymnasium of the school. Once in the gym, there was about 15 available booths that could not be filled fast enough, despite the line due to the slowness of the check-in people. Hopeless ineffeciency. |

Name: | MFH | Voted at: | High School Gym | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | At 10 in the morning there was a steady-emough stream of voters, so that at least five of the booths were occupied at all times, with little wait. | Presidential choice in '08 | hillary, al gore, Barack Obama | Other comments: | I'd like the hopefulness of this campaign to move toward steady repositioning of energies. The legislature has to move on important issues rather than diversionary issues. Move on: Education. Public Safety. Healthcare. Go to the sources and move from there. Enough gridlock and avoidance. |
Name: | Matt Perrenod | Voted at: | Lynch Recreation Center | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | Fairly busy - about a dozen people in line at 7:30. I was voter #84. | Presidential choice in '08? | Hillary Clinton | Other comments: | The most activity outside the polls was supporters and opponents of the local Community Preservation Act vote. |

About a dozen or so folks voting, plus 20+ volunteers. It was incredibly well organized and efficiently run. | Presidential choice in '08 | Hillary Clinton | Other comments: | Saw a ton of signs for Patrick, but not a single one for Healy, Mihos or Ross.

Name: | Donna Killoran | Voted at: | Burlington High School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | At 7:45, I was in and out fairly quickly; there were no lines. As I was leaving, the parking lot was starting to fill up pretty quickly. | Presidential choice in '08? | Obama/Clinton (Bill, perhaps?) | Other comments: | I was very disappointed in the campaign ads that Kerry Healey ran against Deval Patrick. You would think that with all of the complaining that people do about the campaigns at the Federal level, that someone locally would have been listening! It would be interesting if the winning candidate took a look at giving Grace Ross a role in their administration; she has some very good ideas. |
Name: | Jack P. | Voted at: | Burlington High School | Voted for: | Kerry Healey | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | Not too bad considering | Presidential choice in '08 | Rudy Guilliani | Other comments: | Looks like either boston.com is filtering out the Healy posts or Patrick supports don't work. |

There were 3 others at the polling area, awaiting. | Presidential choice in '08? | Howard Dean | Other comments: | I accidently wandered into the Peabody School, instead of the Shelter where the actual voting took place. I was surprised that the school doors were unlocked and I wandered the halls a good ten minutes and no one said anything about my wandering around. |
Name: | Troy | Voted at: | Cambridgeport | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | Those ladies are great - they run a smooth operation and the short line moved quickly. | Presidential choice in '08 | Gore or Hillary - any democrate - NOT Mitten! | Other comments: | 4 words for anybody who voted for Bush The Liar or Mitten The Hypocritten - "I TOLD YOU SO!" |

I thought that it was a good turn out for 7:10am. | Presidential choice in '08? | Obama | Other comments: | I like Patrick, but I don't agree with allowing illegal immigrants to get driver's licenses and in-state tuition. I don't agree with the current immigration system, but this is not the way to reform it. US citizenship should come first for obvious reasons. |

Since the Dem's primary I've not had one call, visit, pamphlet in the mail. . . didn't hear from the campaign at all. If they ignore me during the campaign, I have to think that a Gov. Healey would do the same. How can you even consider voting for someone who ignores you DURING THE CAMPAIGN? Deval and his staff were a constant presence, asking what I care about, what issues affect me, asking for my support. What a difference among the candidates. |
Name: | Jonathan H Herlihy | Voted at: | Elma Lacy House | Voted for: | Kerry Healey | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | Fairly crowed for mid-term election | Presidential choice in '08 | McCain | Other comments: | I voted for Healey, not because I like her or feel she will do anything while in office, but to have someone to watch over the State Senate and Reps. It would be like leaving my boyes home alone with my credit cards. Still very dissapoiunted in the State Senate and Reps for not passing the tax roll back. We the people voted for 5% and they basically have told us the people to stuff it. |
Name: | Julie Conlin | Voted at: | Kent School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | I had to wait in line for precinct 2 - no line for the other precinct. | Presidential choice in '08? | Barack Obama | Other comments: | the election check in person was sooo slow and she had some ignorant comments about a spanish speaking voter trying to check in...Gotta love free speech.

Name: | Emily | Voted at: | Byam School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | at about noon, I had to wait in line (something I can't remember ever doing.) and was number 700. Poll watchers say turnout is far greater than usual, even during presidential elections. At at least one other polling place, the line was 30-people deep -- also extremely unusual for this town. | Presidential choice in '08? | Obama | Other comments: | For the first time in recent memory, I was proud to vote for a candidate with actual values-based beliefs, passion, and integrity -- instead of having to vote for a 3rd-party candidate. Go, Deval! |
Name: | Erica Ayotte | Voted at: | Harrington Middle School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | No selection | How crowded? | I went early.

However, Bush has soured me on Republicans, for the foreseeable future. He has set that party back years, I couldn't bring myself to vote for one Republican, knowing that they helped put him in office in 2004, after he already showed himself incapable. All Losing Republicans today have GWB to blame. Maybe next time they will be more careful who they support. I will Remember in '08 the support that McCain and Romney gave to W. |

Name: | Brian | Voted at: | St. Anne's School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | I didn't wait at all. I wish the voting procedure was more private. The election "helper" took a peak at my ballot when he was cramming it into the tally machine, claiming he was "just checking to make sure I voted on each question." Nice fellow, but the helpers need to brush up on voting rules before they break some election laws. I offered to feed my own ballot into the machine after he jammed it, but he didn't take to kindly to that. | Presidential choice in '08? | Obama or Clinton | Other comments: | Honestly, I am hoping for anyone other than the bigoted Romney. |
Name: | Brian | Voted at: | Washington Street Apartment complex (Near Dor YMCA | Voted for: | Kerry Healey | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | Not crowded | Presidential choice in '08 | Condoleeza Rice | Other comments: | When all the excitement has died down ... will working folks actually seea property tax cut - no. Does the Governor have any say in what local town governments decide to charge in taxes - no. Are Patrick and Mihos disingenuous when they suggest otherwise - yes. If Patrick wins, we will, of course, survive... but It looks as if we're probably going to have to relearn the lessons of our past all over again - Socialism is not fair or just. It will hurt those it purports to help and the pendulum will once more swing to the Center. |

No line! | Presidential choice in '08 | Not sure yet! | Other comments: | Excellent day to vote, not too crowded. But when are we going to going to get more advanced voting machines? The current process takes too long and is often confusing, especially to the elderly and those who do not speak or read English quickly!

To all you future candidates: My family will not vote for ANY candidate that calls us with a recorded message. We received many calls from the Healey campaign, one in particular I found very offensive (my three year old picked up the phone and heard a negative ad about a rapist; I was irate!) If you want to contact people, have a human being call. Otherwise, the message you send to voters is this: I want you to listen to me, but I could care less about your response, your concerns, or anything you might want to say. Not a candidate I want in office. |

It consisted of multiple sheets of paper, and would have benefited from page numbers or from less awkward spacing between questions 1 and 2. I had to ask for help finding the appropriate bubbles for question 2. |
Name: | Audrey | Voted at: | Manning School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | Steady stream of voters, but no waiting. | Presidential choice in '08 | Barack Obama | Other comments: | |

Name: | Barbara | Voted at: | English Public HS | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | It was pretty crowded, much more so than the same time on primary day (although there were a LOT fewer people campaigning outside.) There were long lines to vote.... on primary day I walked right in. | Presidential choice in '08 | I would definitely vote for Obama. NOT Romney. | Other comments: | |
Name: | Adam | Voted at: | Aggasiz school | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | steady stream of voters, most of whom were well informed and knew which line to go to | Presidential choice in '08? | anybody but Mitt or Guiliani | Other comments: | can't wait to see how irateHealey makes her concession speech |
Name: | I Love Voting! | Voted at: | Boston English High School | Voted for: | Kerry Healey | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | At about 7:45 or 8:00 a.m., it was bustling with a fair amount of people there but it was not overly crowded. | Presidential choice in '08 | Barack Obama or John McCain | Other comments: | Unlike the primary, the Deval Patrick supporters weren't quite as hardcore this time. I saw a few Dianne Wilkerson signs and that scared me, but thankfully I think Diaz will win (I voted for Diaz) and the ethically-challenged Wilkerson won't represent my district any longer. |
Name: | JK | Voted at: | Green St | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | There was a line, but it moved fairly quickly. I voted in less than 15 minutes | Presidential choice in '08? | Any real democrat | Other comments: | |
Name: | Jen | Voted at: | Curtis Hall | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | It was about 7:20 a.m. and there was a short line of about 5 people, and about 15 people actively voting. | Presidential choice in '08 | Not sure yet. | Other comments: | Instead of a loud, in-your-face, crowd of supporters with signs, etc., there was just a nice, calm woman with a Patrick/Murray button on the sidewalk saying "Please vote for Deval and Tim." I thought that was nice and classy. |
Name: | Jerry | Voted at: | English High School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | Medium crowded, not too bad. | Presidential choice in '08? | Anyone -- any, any one -- but Hillary. Or Kerry. | Other comments: | How about those English High poll workers? They do a great job. |
Name: | Jon | Voted at: | Pond Street | Voted for: | Grace Ross | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | A few people were already in line at 7am. | Presidential choice in '08 | Green Party | Other comments: | |
Name: | Karen Wepsic | Voted at: | Cutis Hall | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | Good crowd but I didn't have to wait. I normally vote when the polling place opens but today I voted at 11 A.M. and expected the place to be empty. | Presidential choice in '08? | Someone who can think | Other comments: | I hope this election results in a more balance of power in Washington. |

Name: | Tom | Voted at: | Green Street | Voted for: | No selection | Most signs were for: | No selection | How crowded? | Had to wait about 2 minutes to check in. The stream of voters seemed steady. | Presidential choice in '08? | | Other comments: | Jeez... I thought campaign folks handing out flyers or holding signs were supposed to stay a certain distance away from the polling station. I had to navigate a throng of Healey and Patrick boosters, just to get through the door. Isn't the Secretary of State suppossed to monitor this... it was the same problem at the primary. |
Name: | Amy | Voted at: | Amory Street | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | There wasn't a line, there were a few polling spaces open (this was at 8am). Things were moving pretty quickly. | Presidential choice in '08 | Barrack Obama | Other comments: | I think Healy did a huge disservice to herself and her campaign by running such horrible ads. They were so negative and ugly. I'm glad it's over...I can't stand any more of it. |
Name: | Robert Case | Voted at: | Old Bowditch School Building (Green St.) | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | Around 8am this morning there was a line from inside that stretched out to the street - approx 15 - 20 people long. Longest line I have ever experienced in the last 8 years of living in MA. Once inside, you had to wait again in a small line for a stall to open up, to be able to fill in your sheet. | Presidential choice in '08? | John Edwards | Other comments: | |
Name: | Laura Migliori | Voted at: | Community Building, 29 Pond Street | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | At 8:15, not crowded at all. I was surprised. However, the room is tiny, so people in line are practically staring over shoulder as you vote. | Presidential choice in '08 | Hilllary! | Other comments: | Voting is like driving. You select D" to move forward and "R" to go backwards. ~Tim Murray |

Name: | Mark Grady | Voted at: | Southeast Elementary School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | No selection | How crowded? | The parking lot was more crowded than usual, and a lot of people were filling out ballots, but I had no wait time. During the primary, I voted at the same time in the morning and according to the counter on the box, 15 people had voted ahead of me. Today, that number was 56, so it looks like it's a busy day at the polls. | Presidential choice in '08 | Hillary Clinton | Other comments: | I think they should have "I voted" stickers at every polling place acRoss the state, not just certain towns. |
Name: | Rob | Voted at: | Sky View Middle School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | I got there at 6:50 and by the time they opened there were about 100 people.

I may also be the only one voting for Kerry Healey from my town. |
Name: | Mike | Voted at: | Town Hall | Voted for: | Grace Ross | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | Not too crowded at all. No wait at noon. Steady stream. | Presidential choice in '08 | Whoever opposes neoliberal blobalization | Other comments: | Though I registered upon moving to MA in April, and was on record at the clerk's office as having completed the census, my registration failed to make it from the DMV (supposedly). I had to vote provisionally. Given my choice, it likely will not ever be counted. Shame on Mass. |

Name: | Dave | Voted at: | Russel St. School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | No selection | How crowded? | At 7:05, there were quite a few people, but no lines. | Presidential choice in '08 | Obama | Other comments: | As some others have said, I hope the message gets through that the attack ads backfired, and were way too much. Criticize a candidate on the issues, but the fear card, and smear tactics I despise. In any case, I'm glad they're over. |
Name: | Mark Richards | Voted at: | Russel Street School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | Uncrowded but not sparse. Voting process took around 10 minutes, including conversations. | Presidential choice in '08? | John Edwards | Other comments: | If you ask questions, I think it's important to do so giving the officials the benefit of doubt (except in places like Ohio where I recommend total contempt). |
Name: | G | Voted at: | Community House | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | Busy and bustling -- good turnout so far! Lines moed well and was organized. | Presidential choice in '08 | Not sure yet | Other comments: | |

As Deval said on Sunday, the experts have been wrong all along. |

Name: | Tim Little | Voted at: | McAvinnue School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | A half-dozen people were waiting with us for the poll to open at 7am. Not my usual voting time -- I ususally go after work, not before -- so hard to make a good comparison to September. Not much of a line, but more of a steady stream. One Deval sign holder outside at the time; none for Healey. | Presidential choice in '08 | undecided -- leaning Obama | Other comments: | |
Name: | Deb Stephenson | Voted at: | Ludlow HS | Voted for: | Kerry Healey | Most signs were for: | Kerry Healey | How crowded? | I went first thing this morning. Just a short line. In and out quickly. | Presidential choice in '08? | | Other comments: | |

Name: | Andrea | Voted at: | Sisson Elementry School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | No selection | How crowded? | Very crowded. There were no signs for any candidate, just "vote no on Number 1". | Presidential choice in '08? | Barack Obama | Other comments: | I was very please at the turn out at my polling location.

No signs at all for any person at my polling station. |
Name: | Marc | Voted at: | St. Pius Church, Maple St. | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | There was actually a good turnout -- the parking lot was full at a time I was expecting turnout to be quite a bit less (around 10 AM). And, might I add, the baked goods were incredible... | Presidential choice in '08? | Barack Obama | Other comments: | My favorite quote from Deval Patrick: "We don't have to agree on everything before we work together on anything." Amen, brother... |
Name: | Teri Faulisi | Voted at: | 10 Church St. | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | No selection | How crowded? | Very. I must have gotten there right after a bus load of Senior Citizens arrived! | Presidential choice in '08 | Barack Obama, if he changes stance on gay marriage | Other comments: | Polling place was *very* disorganized - not set up to handle the large crowd that was there. I am wondering what it will be like later on tonight when central square residents vote after work. |
Name: | Ian Sylvetsky | Voted at: | Lynnfield Senior Center | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | It was steady but not crowded.

Name: | David | Voted at: | 59 Green St. | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | There were more polling officals than voters -- the room was very tiny and seemed crowded even with no one in it. | Presidential choice in '08? | Barack Obama | Other comments: | Is Kerry Healy still running? I haven't seen anything about her for months -- unless you count nasty TV ads. I voted for Jill Stein, too.... I loath Galvin's sense of entitlement. |
Name: | Diane | Voted at: | Smallwood School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | I was disappointed to see that there was no line at all at 8:20am this morning.

Name: | Judith | Voted at: | Beebe School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | The most crowded I have ever seen it at 7 AM. I had to wait in line and I have never had to do that before that early. A poll worker told me she had worked that ward for 30 years and had never seen it that crowded at opening. | Presidential choice in '08? | Barack Obama or John Edwards | Other comments: | We need to see more younger people get involved at working at the polls. The people at my polling place do a good job but I think the average age is about 85. Those of us who are younger need to start showing interest in helping make our democracy work by working at the polls. |

Name: | John Barnes | Voted at: | Furnace Brook Elementary School | Voted for: | Kerry Healey | Most signs were for: | Kerry Healey | How crowded? | At 11:45 am, there was a steady flow of voters but no line or wait. Based on the ballot count of my precinct when I voted it appears to have been a very good turn out earlier in the day. | Presidential choice in '08 | Uncommitted (definitely not Kerry...) | Other comments: | Healy sign holders indicated that they have been receiving a very good response and appear optimistic. Healy appeared to have more sign holders when I arrived at 11:45 am but it was fairly close with Deval. Healy's signs were more spreadout and Deval's were more bunched together. |

Name: | Gina | Voted at: | St. Francis of Assisi school | Voted for: | Kerry Healey | Most signs were for: | No selection | How crowded? | Not crowded at all (7:15 a.m.)--there were NO signs or campaigners out at all! No lines, moved very smoothly, and they are having a bake sale! Good deal. :) | Presidential choice in '08? | Mitt Romney!! | Other comments: | |
Name: | J.D. Lesser | Voted at: | Temple on Winthrop in Medford | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | No selection | How crowded? | I voted at 9:15. At the time the ballot box had tallied a total of 339 votes. That seemed quite few for that time of day. | Presidential choice in '08 | At this point, no one. | Other comments: | |

Name: | M | Voted at: | Walkling Court | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | Steady stream of voters. There were 6 or 8 voting stalls and all were occupied when I arrived. However, by the time I finished checking in, there was an open stall so I didn't have to wait. | Presidential choice in '08? | Me! | Other comments: | The ladies had some baked goods but they weren't sharing. |

Name: | Medford voter | Voted at: | Brooks Elementary School | Voted for: | Deval Patrick | Most signs were for: | No selection | How crowded? | It wasn't crowded at all 3 pm and the only sign I saw was for question 3. | Presidential choice in '08? | Barack Obama | Other comments: | I wanted to vote in the September primary but couldn't because I had moved on September 1st (like many other university students in Boston). The deadline to register for the primary was August 30th, which likely prohibited anyone who moved on September 1st from voting in that election. I think this deadline date should change. |
Name: | Mike B | Voted at: | McGlynn School | Voted for: | Kerry Healey | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | Decent crowd. | Presidential choice in '08 | Ray Flynn | Other comments: | It's going to be a sad, sad day once Deval is confirmed as Governor. You can't get any more left than him. More babies will die in abortion clinics and embryonic stem cell labs, illegals will suck the benefits pool dry, families will get poorer from increased tax burdens, children will continue to get warped education in the glorious ways of gay sex, marriage will die out and we'll kill any hopes of population growth in the state by contracepting it away. Kerry Healy surely isn't better, only less evil. Deval, you can still repent and change your ways while you have breath. May God guide our elections today and protect marriage and children. Amen. |

Name: | T | Voted at: | Council on Aging | Voted for: | Kerry Healey | Most signs were for: | Deval Patrick | How crowded? | It wasy than I've ever seen. | Presidential choice in '08 | McCain | Other comments: | It would be a mistake to underscore the atrocity of electing Deval Patrick governor. Too many politicians like Patrick use the landscape of politics in the predominatly one-sided face of voters (in this state anyway)and use it as a building block and a platform towards bigger and better things. The Commonwealth can ill-afford to have its' next Governor have his/her eye on the 08' or 12' run. What the State needs is stability, and someone who has the vision of a changed state; not someone like Patrick whose short-sightedness in this campaign will be dwarfed only by his next political move: the Presidency. |

It is his wife that is running for the first women governor in MA, even though she is not gonna make it, but a suit and tie would of looked nice just for voting! |

I will say this much, Kerri Healey went too far with her negative campaign. When they went after Deval Patrick's sister's private domestic problem, to me this signified a person with very little redeeming qualities to allow such a private matter to go public with no thought to the hurt it caused the family. Shame on Healy and her campaign manager. As the saying goes; "the guilty are the first to accuse". |

He showed a lot of class. Kerry Healey should be ashamed of herself as a woman, especially for how she handled the personal attacks on Deval's family. They had absolutely nothing to do with him campaign or his candicacy. |

We definitely need a paper backup for the purpose of accurate recounts in case of technical difficulties or suspected irregularites. Fortunately, Somerville still uses a method that provides such a backup. And in all my years of voting here, I've never seen any problems. But I'm starting to think that we need the UN to monitor the elections in this country. |

The voting machine said I was the 320th person to vote as of 9:00 AM this morning. | Presidential choice in '08 | Hillary Clinton | Other comments: | There was actually very little signage outside the polling station - whether that was because it was so early, or because the candidates/causes feel voters in my district are already set on who they've voting for, I have no idea. |

We were there at a little after 7am. | Presidential choice in '08 | H. Clinton Prez, B. Obama Vice | Other comments: | I hated voted in this election because I did not like any of the candidates for governor. I normally vote republican, but decided to throw my vote to support the local guy Tim Murray, not because I was enamoured with Deval Patrick. The only signs outside were for Deval Patrick, and vote no on question 1 (which I did). There were no baked goods, I need to find some place that serves baked goods. |

Bluster, so long as he's a Dem. | Other comments: | Our public schools need a lot of help. The current administration has good intent by holding our schools and our teachers accountable for the education of our children but leave them on their own by forcing considerable cuts acRoss our public school system. Despite paying high property taxes, we are still forced to fork over more money in many of our communities to pay for our children to get on the bus and pay their own way for athletics and other activities. Eliminate these ridiculous fees that our current administration has put upon us and give that money to our public schools. |

A volunteer inside the polling center, innocently enough asked everyone in line, "Does everyone know who they are voting for for Governor?" Then in a clearly audible conversation with a gentleman in the front of the line he said, "You know those Democrats wont show up until at least noon." Coming from an election representative at the polls I found this comment completely out of line. Regardless of which Party the Volunteer referred to, the comment had no place at a polling center. |

The poll people were like the folks in the doctor's office who ask for your co-payment before you have a chance to say hello. "Good mo..." "Address???" A little courtesy training might help.
