    It's actually a long-stannding rule that you aren't supposed to have stuff like that inside or within a certain distance from a polling place. I've actually heard of people have to remove or turn there shirt inside out. Evidently there's a place in Philly that has a mural of Obama in the room where people are voting. It wouldn't bother me, but they really should have covered it up. It's much easier to say nothing is allowed, than to pick and choose what it.

    I just don't see what the big deal is. It's not like the cup was on display.

    Ken--

    It's more for appearances, and there should be nothing indicating a choice among the judges.

    worked late, got to the school where I vote around 7 .......

    empty, walked right up to the table and then to an empty voting booth .......

    in and out in 10 minutes ......

    the poll workers said it was crazy up to 6 pm with over 1,800 voters (which they said is high there) there but I guess I lucked out ......

    I went at about 2, but couldn't wait around there was a line inside the building--- came back at 7:15 and the line was way outside the building, wish I could have stayed the first time--didn't get to cast my vote until about 8:15, so an hour give or take, there were about 50 people still in line when I finished, all of whom would be allowed to vote because they got in line before 8 it was explained.

    I never waited so long. Therefore, i really do not have any experience of standing in a line.
