Virginians showing up at the polls today

I'm really not quite sure what to make of this.

People are showing up at polling places across Virginia expecting to vote in presidential primaries that are still a week away.

By noon Tuesday, the State Board of Elections received about 400 calls, and many callers wanted to know why their polling places were closed.

Officials say that's double to triple the normal volume of calls.

On the one hand, I guess it shows that people are excited to vote. On the other hand, though, it worries me that people coming out to vote can't even pay attention enough to know which day to vote on.

HAHA, also, here's an idea - someone should go check the candidate's web sites to see how many people are posting claims of "voter fraud" because their precinct was closed (when in reality it's just not their day to vote).
