Today, it was a five hour wait in the City of Richmond to vote absentee:
In heavily-Democratic Richmond City, there was a five-hour wait today to vote in-person by absentee ballot. Hundreds of people, many in walkers and wheelchairs, waited in a line that snaked around City Hall.
“I wouldn’t be able to come Tuesday cause I need assistance, I just had knee replacement,” said Ella Garland, 64, who waited 5 hours. “It was worth it. Obama is worth it. I’d do it all again.”

Since in-person absentee voting began in Virginia two weeks ago, Gloria Nash Allen has been volunteering for a local senior center to drive people to the polls. But yesterday she waited for hours while her husband, a trucker who would be on the road Tuesday, cast his ballot.
“I’ve never seen it like this before,” said Allen. “It is amazing just watching them coming in wheelchairs and with walkers, and I know for a fact a lot of these people showing up have never voted before.”
Anyone want to take a wild guess who they’re voting for ?
