So I was at the local polls at 7:10 AM, and the line of voters snaked all around the building. It took me an hour to vote, and it usually takes five minutes. Town clerk is expecting 100% turnout of registered voters in this tiny village of 2,212. I was looking around the line to see who was coming out -- seemed like lots of golfers and construction workers. Hm.
Friend T in DC arrived at his polling place at 6:40 AM, and it took him an hour to vote. He said the mood was upbeat there.
We'll see.

Update:
Hat-tip to Kvatch: Election Protection has received >50,000 calls as of 4:29 PM EST complaining of problems with voting in multiple states. See also OurVoteLive.
My favorite so far:
UPDATE (4:05 p.m.): Heather Smith of Rock the Vote reports that youth voters have received the following deceptive text message:
Due to long lines today, all Obama voters are asked to vote on Wednesday. Thank you for your cooperation.
Then there's this, out of sight, out of mind ballots for New englanders.
And from Hominid Views:
Probability of Obama winning 100.0%
Probability of McCain winning 0.0%
