When I went to vote Tuesday evening I was surprised to see a sheriff's officer there. Figured we did not know what to expect so erring on the side of caution. Another voter raised t he question of whether or not all polling places were being so staffed. The deputy said no, none of them had legal presence more than a short time. He was scheduled to be at other voting sites as the evening wore on. If you voted, were there officers present?

I asked my dad that because there had been a bomb plot to blow up two polling place in Oklahoma City on Election Day. He said there was no police presence where he voted, and at our church (which is a polling place) no protection was present either.

There were no officers at my polling location. That cop was probably remaining mum. I am sure there was a potential threat they were made aware of that he was there to guard against. He just didn't want to come out and say it.

No, they don't like to drive out this far! They stick pretty close to the towns unless there is a compelling reason for them to be elsewhere.

We always have one present. Have for years. He usually looks extremely bored.

I voted but my state does mail in ballots. I checked: my vote was counted.

So far I haven't heard of any nasty incidents but I guess there were bound to be one or two somewhere in the country.
