There really weren't any lines at my precinct, so it was a quick in and out. Lots of people handing out literature, especially Kwame Mommy leaflets. The Kilpatrick machine people appeared really desperate. | ||

Where I voted, HALF of the ballots had been invalidated because of cross-voting. This was at about nine o'clock in the morning. | ||

I was the 11th voter in my precinct in Dearborn at 8:15 this morning. Sounds like a really small turnout for mostly Wayne County ballot stuff and the Zoo question. | ||

And it's only going to get hotter and more humid today. I could definitely see a lower turnout than expected. I wouldn't be surprised if turnout didn't reach the teens. | ||

We voted at St.John's Presbyterian on Lafayette, there were more people outside than inside. I was number 13 to vote in my district, at around 9:15. Martha Scott, Mary Waters, Coleman Young jr were there. There was an older African-American lady with the mayoral recall petition, and it was full! | ||

Are these same people going to put diesel in their tanks instead of unleaded? READ THE BLOODY DIRECTIONS, PEOPLE. Time to go do my part to try and bring down the Kilpatrick dynasty. Too bad for CCK that Jackie Curry isn't still running the show. Viva la Waters! | ||

That Livonia/ Northville TWP annexation vote will be wild as it's seems: A YES vote means 8,000 new jobs and very high property tax rate. Plus Livonia would increase from a 6x6 mile square township mile to 6x6x7 1/2 mile city making it the first biggest "whittest" suburb in the Metro-Detroit area behind Dearborn. Plus the first biggest "whittest" suburb in Wayne County. A NO vote would prevent annexation and save Livonia tax payers and no jobs, but at least you all can keep your cookie cutter homes. I hope that the people of Livonia would vote NO! I glad that the folks of the northern part of Westland voted NO against Livonian annexation back in the 1950s for school district and Westland Mall greyfield development proposals. People of Northville TWP that land on Haggarty Rd is yours. Fight it, keep it, SAVE it please. If Livonia annex part of Northville TWP. What's next? Redford TWP. | ||

Voted this afternoon in Ann Arbor. Talk about BORING. I was voter #74 or something like that. There were only a few contested offices, and we're not part of the zoo proposal. Yawn... I miss Detroit! | ||

When I lived in AA voting was boring, but I did it. Nothing exciting, nothing special, just a bunch of no-names :-D | ||

My beef with the Livonia annexation is the exact reason that the Northville Twp. Planning Commission kept rejecting REIs plans. They want to SERIOUSLY overbuilt the land with not only homes but also a mall, offices, etc. If you've ever tried driving Haggerty around rush hour, your KNOW how bad it is and it can't be widened any further. Getting from 8 Mile to 10 Mile can take 20 minutes! Second reason is they want to put in another shopping mall (traffic again but also commerce). Just down the street at Haggerty and 5, a new strip mall was added a couple of years ago that has all of 2! stores - pizza joint and tanning salon. Further away at 5 and Newburgh, there's a big empty chunk in another strip mall that lost their Farmer Jack and Rite Aid. Add to that, the last time I was at Laurel Park,it seemed the stores weren't doing very well either. So why do we need more stores that no one will shop at or that will take business from other nearby areas and more traffic to make the Haggerty and 275 drives even MORE unbearable? | ||

In Dearborn we always bring in strippers and a keg to combat the tedium of voting. | ||

#41 at precinct 35. Some kid at the front door tried to be helpful and explain that you can't vote for both parties or your vote is null or something. Pushed past him and voted in about 1:30. You guys for the zoo thing? My knee jerk reaction was no, but I voted for it anyway. I've got a friend who takes her kids there for summer camp (sure she pays), but that's enough for me to see a use. We never visit. | ||

I voted NO to anyone connected to Kwame. Screw these "slates". Its all a big cabal. Wake up, people. With things as bad as they are, I voted against ALL incumbents except for Wojtowicz- that campaign just got a little too weird for me. We need new leadership- KwameKonnection or not. Oh yeah, and yes to the zoo. | ||
