I got there about 10:45. Nobody in any of the lines except for about 20 in the G-L line. And of course that's my line. Took about 15 minutes.
2:05 p.m. - High turnout continues into afternoon
About a 30-minute to a 1-hour line awaits voters at Heritage Elementary School, where the line winds from the school’s cafeteria through several hallways.
“Oh my God, this line is never going to end,” said Liberty University sophomore Valerie Gardner, who rode to the school with several friends.
Poll worker Brett Beasley said the line has been steady all day, with surges in the morning and at lunch. He expects the largest turnout to come after regular work hours.
So far, more than 2,000 of the precinct’s 4,731 registered voters have cast a ballot.

I got to the polls at 6:45 this morning and was blown away to see a 1/4 mile long line OUTSIDE of the school. That didn't include the 1.5 hour wait inside. It was pouring and nobody cared. I waited for an hour and had to leave to get to work, but I returned at lunch and punched Mc/P after 1.25 hours in line. My wife was there at 9:00 and she waited for 3 hours.Dude, you just said yourself it's a heavily democratic precinct. If turnout is high everywhere, I wouldn't call McCain done. This country still has a majority conservative population, it just depends on who shows up to vote.
McCain is done.

Turnouts are going to be high everywhere rather the precinct tends to vote democratic or republican, so whats your point?
McCain is done.
