That seems to be the question people in Marion County are asking themselves.
As the sun rose on the City-County building in downtown Indianapolis this morning, it was greeted by a line of people who weren't about to wait another day. Some were standing, some were sitting, some had brought lawn chairs to make themselves more comfortable.
By the time the polls opened, the line reached around the corner and down the block.
These people aren't waiting to cast their votes; why should you?
Find your your polling place and let your voice be heard today.

Letters and pictures from across the state continue to pour into our offices from voters excited to have cast their vote for change. Here's an example of what we're hearing.
Kelly, in Leopold, tells us about the experience of voting with her family:
I went to the polls with my younger brother and sister and it was their first time voting, and only my second time. This was the first time that we all felt excited about the election. It was so inspiring having the three of us come together to support a man that can bring hope to three young Americans who are discouraged by the current state of our nation. It made me so proud when my eighteen year old brother said "I feel like I just did something really good for my country."

In Evansville, Delyn's early voting experience was an event that left her feeling fired up:
Monday, October 6th - the FIRST DAY of early voting in Indiana!!!! We marched from Obama HQ on Main Street to the Civic Center on our lunch hour. Our mayor (Jonathon Weinzapfel) held a brief rally where he talked about our CHANGING this nation for the better!!! It was an amazing experience!!!!!
Marcia from Indianapolis found just as much excitement at the polling place itself:
The volunteers were very well organized and helpful. The long lines of voters moved very quickly.The volunteers would shout out "1st time voter" when one turned in their ballot and the crowd would applaud. There was a lady who was 53 yrs. and was voting for the first time. That was a little sad, but exciting at the same time.

It will take all us working hard for the next 8 days, but together we can bring change to Indiana.
With the polls open in Indiana and 9 days left until election day, more and more Hoosiers are making the decision not to wait to cast their votes.
Robert from New Albany shares his experience at the polling place:
While the line wasn't long, the line was steady. There were three poll workers aiding the County Clerk at the City-County Building where I voted. Once I handed the County Clerk my Indiana Driver's License, she checked that I was on the voter rolls. Once checked, she directed me to go one of three poll workers who gave me an official ballot with an envelope. While she was fixing the envelope and placing the appropriate initials on the official ballot, I overheard one of the workers telling the County Clerk that today will "break the record, by far" of people voting early before election day. I have a feeling today's new record might be broken sometime next week. But once the poll worker finished preparing my ballot, she directed me out to the hallway were there were booths where I could pick one to vote in. The method of voting in my county (Floyd County, IN) is Optical Scan. So with a felt-tip marker, I marked the line beside Obama/Biden! ... I placed the ballot into the envelope as I was instructed to do earlier. Once I turned in the envelope to the poll worker, she used a water dabber to seal the envelope and then placed it on a rather tall-looking stack that was set up.

Many Hoosiers who have been interested in casting their vote early have been nervous about doing so. Diane in South Bend shares the concerns she had and her ultimate decision:
I was hesitant to vote early because I thought my vote wouldn't count unless the election was close. I later found out this is a common misconception with people who vote early or by absentee. I was ensured by the polling worker that my sealed ballot would be taken to my precinct on election day and placed through the machine with the other ballots. I was thrilled when they told me that since the early voting started at the County/City building they have averaged 700 people a day. If this is any indication of how the polls will be on election day, I am happy I voted early.

Alison in Indianapolis is also glad to have cast her vote:
I did not have any problems. I was greeted, and directed to the right line for voting. The line moved swiftly and my ballot was correct. Once in the booth, I was overwhelmed by the opportunity to vote for such a great candidate. I am very inspired.
