White People Cast Votes with Ease on Selection Day/ (10 PM) Non-Whites Still in Line in Miami

From [HERE] The 10 registered voters in the small village of Dixville Notch, New Hampshire wait to cast the first election day ballots of the U.S. presidential election moments after midnight November 6, 2012
From [HERE] above LA Hotel Offers Luxury Voting Experience. Those fortunate enough to call themselves denizens of the exclusive neighborhoods of Brentwood and Bel Air, Calif. can cast their ballots in luxury on Election Day. The Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel is serving as an official polling site for residents of the 90049 zip code, and is introducing some much-needed voter hospitality into the electoral system.
From [HERE] Voting is continuing into the night Tuesday at a condo tower south of downtown here where “Hispanics for Obama” placards compete with an anti-communist poster taped to a palmetto bush — and where some residents say they’ve waited as long six hours to cast their ballots. “This is mayhem,” said Carla Batlle of Miami, who emerged with her husband, Adrian, after an ordeal that began at 1:10 p.m. and didn’t end until almost 7. “It’s a debacle. This is unorganized, unprofessional.”
“It’s not going well at all,” Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez said as he trudged through the parking lot while people in the parking lot yelled, “Shame on you” and “Venezuela runs better elections.”
Hundreds more were still waiting in a line snaking through the parking lot well past the official 7 p.m. EST closing time for the polls. (Polls close an hour later for Florida Panhandle counties that are on Central Time.)
“Somebody put six precincts here,” Gimenez said. “I’m going to find out why we put six precincts here and didn’t spread it around. And not enough resources here.”
