CBC News is reporting heavy turnout.

Observers are predicting a record voter turnout as precinct officials from Florida and North Carolina to West Virginia and Michigan said they encountered long lines at their respective stations.

"We even had people waiting in line before we opened at 6:30 a.m.," Wayne County Clerk Robert Pasley in Wayne, W.Va, told the Associated Press. "In some places, there was more than a dozen people waiting, and that's heavy."

Long line-ups could discourage some voters or could be caused by problems.

We'll have to wait and see if it's a record.
