Roslindale at the Polls on Election Day

Like across many parts of Boston and the nation, voters had to wait in line at the Bates School this morning.

"The line went outside and down onto Kittredge Street," said Lee Blasi. "I went in at a quarter to seven and got out at 8 a.m."

While volunteering as an Elizabeth Warren supporter outside of St. Nectarios Church later in the morning, Blasi said she thought there was more even more energy today then in 2008.

Standing with Blasi, was Roslindale resident Evelyn Riesenberg, who said why she supported Warren, "She stands for all the things I believe in." Fairness and tax reform were two issues Riesenberg said she likes Warren on more than US Sen. Scott Brown.

Asked why she came out to vote, Roslindale resident Mary Munger said, "I've been coming here for 40 years. I've been working the polls for 40 years... There's a lot of people (today)... in and out, in and out..."

While few, campaign supporters were asked by Boston Police to move across Robert Street to be 150 feet away from the polling location. No campaign supporter complained, some might've been happier because the other side of the street was sunnier.

Holding a sign of "Yes on 2" Roslindale resident David Holzman explained why he supported the physician-assisted suicide ballot question. "I believe that if people are terminally ill and in pain, and wish to escape their pain, they should have the right to get a prescription in a painless manner."

John Rigas was out in support of Mitt Romney. "I think it's imperative to have good people at the head of the nation... Romney is a person with experience. Obama may be a nice guy, but he can't get you a paycheck. Obama's had four years. He hasn't done the job."
