    Voting When Obama Votes

    By Raemarie  |  Posted November 4, 2008  |  Chicago, Illinois
     

    I live in Senator Obama's ward in Chicago, and I got up at 5am to be in line by 5:30am to vote (voting starts at 6am in Illinois)- that's the last picture.  When we got there, there were cameras and media everywhere (2nd picture).   We actually had to have secret service agents check off our names on lists before we could go to the election judges too. The first picture I took as I was leaving, and you can see the secret service agents checking people off on the register.  It only took about 40 minutes from when the poll opened to when I got out, which wasn't bad.  I suspect the people at the back of the line had a much longer wait.
