At one polling place in a Virginia suburb of Washington, D.C. — where there was no hotly contested local race to spur interest — nearly 100 people were in line when the polls opened at 6 a.m. One voter said that was the largest turnout she had seen in 20 years of voting at the location.

“Every election’s important ... but my very survival is an issue, and that never was,” said Margie Miller, 55, of Baldwin, N.Y. Her husband Joel died at his 97th-floor desk at the World Trade Center in the Sept. 11 attacks. “All I care about is safety, safety, safety.”

Following a quirky tradition of post-midnight voting in New Hampshire’s North Country, 16 people voted for Bush, 14 for Kerry and one for Ralph Nader. Bush beat Democrat Al Gore 17-13 in the hamlet in 2000.
