turnout reports, voting problems, and last minute dirty tricks

[Beefalow and the Consumer]

Tippecanoe County, Indiana

Heavy.

Purdue.

Turnout.

When the polls opened at 6 AM at the Union, there were an estimated 200 people in line.  At 7:30, they estimated 400 (WBAA radio).  Other polling places are running quickly and smoothly, according to my coworkers.

Now, this county does the "voting center" thing, so anyone can vote at any polling place.  But it still says something that it's so heavy at Purdue.

I think Tippecanoe, a 59% Bush 2004 county, goes for Obama this time around.

KYW reported long lines in Chinatown.  (Yes, Philadelphia has a Chinatown.)

No doubting that, but... Philadelphia has a K station?

Yep and a television station.  It predates the Mississippi divide.  KDKA is in Pittsburgh.  Same story. 

I knew about the Pittsburgh one.  There are a few others on this side of the river.  Fond du Lac, WI has one, oddly enough (KFIZ).
