Potomac Primary: Update #2

So, my voting location was nearly empty when I voted (around 8 am), but word in the blogosphere (and traditional media) seems to indicate that my experience was unique. In other words, mad Dem turnout everywhere! Holla!

From Maryland (courtesy of Maryland Moment):
As voting began in the Potomac Primary began this morning in Maryland, turnout was heavy in Eastern Montgomery County, even beyond the usual pre-work rush.

"This is unprecedented as far as I'm concerned," said Maryland State Comptroller Peter Franchot, surveying the 30-minute line at his home precinct of Piney Branch Elementary School in Takoma Park. "This is 8 a.m. traffic and it's after 10 o'clock."
