I won't be voting until shortly before the polls close tonight, so I am relying on readers to post their reports from the polling locations.

There was a line to vote this morning at Boston's Ward 18, Precinct 16 (Hyde Park). A lot of Brown supporters. I was very surprised. I cast my vote for Brown.
There was a big turnout at Dedham's Precinct One this morning, but there are also two local questions. I also saw a bus from the new mega-Senior House complex, which may artificially drive up that early number.
First of all, thanks for all your work on this blog. You've kept us informed, and it's made following the race a lot more enjoyable.
I voted in Falmouth, where we've had light-to-moderate rain on and off all day. The Cape is pretty quiet in the off-season, and election day is no different. However, in years past there'd be numerous folks holding signs outside polling places, and heavily slanted toward democrats. Today there were no Coakley people at the school I voted at, and just one sign in the ground. But 6 Brown supporters were out there with signs, waving and eliciting horn honks from passing vehicles at the two school entrances. No lines at all, and I was voter #1102 at 1 pm. We've got around 25,000 registered voters in 9 precincts, and I've heard the town clerk expects a 60-65% turnout, with as much as 8% of them voting absentee. As I drove back through the center of town past other polling locations, I saw one Coakley volunteer and 12 Brown supporters.
On Tuesday, January 19, 2010, Massachusetts voters went to the polls and elected their first new Senator in more than 25 years - State Senator Scott Brown.

Around noon, I was number 501 at West Roxbury BPL. Saw nothing. Two Brownies outside, one Coakley sign.
No line.
