  • 11:07 a.m. Paul Amador -- #282 at precinct 44 just now.
  • 10:58 a.m. Bjorn Handeen -- I was voter 129 at P52 ten minutes ago. 10 people or so right behind me.
  • 9:47 a.m. SpudBob -- Still busy at Precinct #44 (fire station on the Golf Course). I was #178 @ 9:30.
  • 9:43 a.m. Charlie -- #234 at my polling station, Golden Spike Estates, Rathdrum. Steady flow in and out, poll workers doing a bang up job.
  • 9:13 a.m. FrumHelenBack -- The nice folks at precinct 38 were keeping busy at 7:40 this morning.
  • 9:12 a.m. EddieTorreal -- #24 at Precinct #54. Not as busy as I was expecting. We were in and out quickly with no waiting.
  • 8:10 a.m. Nic -- OK, while we're voting and waiting for the polls to close today, so we can gasp at the vote totals in the eastern states, let's play a guessing game. Who will win the presidency today -- Democrat Hillary Clinton or Republican Donald Trump. And how many electoral votes will each get?
  • 7:46 a.m. DFO -- I was able to vote at my Precinct 52 at Coeur d'Alene Assembly of God Church quickly this morning. For the first time in forever, Precinct 50 was split off and included in the St. Pius X polling place. Maybe that's why things moved so well today. Merry Huckster FlorineD was handling voter ID at the door. I forgot to pick up my "I Voted" sticker.
  • 7:33 a.m. Frito Ray -- My brother, Frito Ray, and his wife were #3-4 in a line waiting for the polls to open at the Coeur d'Alene Church of the Nazarene, which handles Precincts 46, 47.
  • 7:15 a.m. JT -- Precinct 8 - voter #38 at 7:15 this morning. Parking lot was packed but process moved consistently.
