St Charles Missouri Voters Line Up to Vote Before 6 am Polls Open

The headline would say it all, but the question is not what happened but Why Did It Happen?

Voters in St Charles Missouri lined up to vote at the primary polls before 6 am in freezing rain and snow.  They lined up around the corner of the building!

That is very impressive and the voters of St Charles Missouri should be commended for doing their civic duty.  Sure its their duty, but performing that duty is a commendable act none the less.

1. Stepping beyond that we have to wonder were the voters being practical?  Were they hoping to vote and get it done so they could get on down the road to St Louis before gridlock traffic hit?
2. Were they hoping to beat the long lines at the primary polls themselves?
3. Were they hoping to vote early and influence the entrance and exit pollsters?
4. Did they think they were in line for Hanna Montana Tickets? 
• Just a joke, but its somewhat telling that lines for Hannah Montana tickets are more common than lines to select a President to replace George W Bush.
5. Did they think they were in line to offer up a car donation in exchange for tickets on a future commuter train to St Louis? 
• Again another joke, there's not going to be a commuter train to St Louis for years as a car donation today is more likely to be used to pay for videos for teenagers than they might be to fund commuter rails and reduce gridlock.
