Just read 538's report on Georgia and saw this...

Posted by Dano voted (aka dano) Nov 4 '08, 12:11

"We asked about the insanely long lines, and whether that would hamper voting. First, we learned, Barack Obama has "Comfort Teams," which are all volunteer forces who don't campaign, but simply bring water, hot chocolate and snacks. "No campaigning, no materials," Adelman said, just making sure the people who have to wait in long lines aren't hungry or thirsty."

So that's who were bringing by the snacks and drinks. I had no idea they were with the Obama campaign, but my polling place seemed significantly pro-Obama voterwise.

Responses:

Also 2.0M people voted early compared with 3.3M voters total in 2004 and there were still long lines today. -- nm - Dano voted Nov 4, 12:12 1
- I wonder how many long lines are because people said there would be long lines? - oblique - I voted! Nov 4, 12:16
