Local voting slideshow on Flickr

Here's a series of photos posted at Flickr by various photographers documenting the day's exercise in democracy. Today it's mild with a light rain in Richmond. Early voters may enjoy these photos more than those who haven't stood in line yet.

Tradition says the Republicans usually benefit from a low turnout. Will the rain make a difference in Virginia?
