Citizens standing in line to cast their vote

Earlier in the day, the polls were very crowded as people stood in line to cast their vote in the election. Streets were blocked off at one point in order to allow for the long lines coming out of the polls. Election results for the statewide contests were of great interest as well, with Governor Gray Davis running against his challenger Bill Simon.
