Iowa | Morning in Iowa

One word description : Lines.

The sun is barely up but people are jamming the polling places of Eastern Iowa. Contrary to media reports, most of these people are NOT senior citizens. One thing is certain : Pollworkers are not going to die of boredom this day.

With that information, I would say it is safe to conclude that the t-shirt “Voting is for old people” had little or no effect on pursuading the youth to not vote.

Just checked the polling place I am at, and it appears the 30-and-over crowd is out in force. Don’t see any “slackers” yet, though I suppose by pure definition it would be unusual to see them this early, wouldn’t it? (grin)

Thanks for signing in, . Now you can comment. (Click here should you choose to sign out.)

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
