Bush favoured to win the state narrowly.\u003cbr/\u003eSome voters showed up with coffee and newspapers as early as an hour ahead of the poll openings.\u003cbr/\u003eTurnout was heavy for such an early opening according to election officials at the polling sites in Rosslyn, Virginia.\u003cbr/\u003eMany volunteers for both parties were on hand to try to sway voters with last minute appeals for their candidates.\u003cbr/\u003eInside the polling sites lines were moving smoothly to the electronic voting stations, with poll workers on hand to explain the procedure to new voters, or those unfamiliar with the new machines.\u003cbr/\u003eTom and Marilyn Bennet typify the divided electorate - the married couple debated who to vote for over dinners for months, and in the end he voted for Kerry and she voted for Bush.\u003cbr/\u003eVoters in New York, also queued up early morning to cast their votes.\u003cbr/\u003eResidents in Boston, Senator John Kerry's hometown, hit the polls early morning on Tuesday.\u003cbr/\u003eHundreds of Bostonians gathered at City Hall to cast their votes for President Bush or Senator Kerry.\u003cbr/\u003eThe polls are open across Massachusetts and voter turnout is expected to be high in Boston.\u003cbr/\u003eSenator Kerry is expected to arrive in Boston around mid-day where he will cast his vote.\u003cbr/\u003eBush has already cast his vote in
