Speaking of polling places, my library was an early voting site in 2008, and it was kind of crazy, with long lines and people angry when the poll

workers closed down at end of day. The room they used was very close to the Reference Desk, so we took a lot of flack for something we had nothing to do with.

Anyway, do we think the turn-out will be less than 2008 this year? I know it's early, but it kind of sounds like there be a bit more indifference this year.
