Americans took to Twitter in droves on Tuesday to post photos of themselves casting ballots in the long-awaited presidential election, sporting ‘I voted’ stickers and urging others to do the same.
Google also got in on the act, enabling users to click on the search engine’s Doodle -- made out of ballot papers with the second ‘g’ falling into a voting box sporting the US flag -- to find their nearest polling station.
‘Just cast my vote & my grandpa would be so proud!’, @She_Weezy2012 tweeted, posting a picture of an ‘I Voted’ sticker on her grey jumper, complete with the #ivoted hashtag, which was being used by hundreds of Twitter users.
‘#iVoted for #TeamObama. Had to put an extra check for good measure!,’ @Stwo from New York City said, adding a photo of his ballot paper which had the names of candidates in English and Chinese.
Many complained of long waits at polling stations.
‘Whew 1 hour & 45 mins later,’ @trentfaris tweeted, but still proudly posted a photo of his ‘I voted’ sticker.
Others put up photos of them voting with their children.
