Stupid Americans.

I know in Wisconsin they are predicting somewhere around 80% turnout. Beat that punks :P

My polling station is right outside my apartment, makes it bad ass for me!

I agree, I remember hearing on NPR that 75% was the predicted turnout... I mean we all know what a liberal media organization NPR is but hey... 

From MSNBC:
"Poll worker John Ritch in Chappaqua, N.Y., said: "By 7:30 this morning, we had as many as we had at noon in 2004." "

Consider also, the RECORD turnout was in 1960 and was 64% of eligable voters. I think we are going to shatter that record.
