The time has come at last.

It's been 32 years since the Keystone State last played a pivotal role in a primary election, but today registered Pennsylvania democrats will take to the polls in what could be the deciding contest on road to the democratic nomination.

I accompanied my boyfriend to his polling place in Old City Philadelphia around 7:30 this morning and a line of about 25 people—mostly young professionals—had already formed. By the time we left 10 minutes later, the line had grown and was stretching out the doors of the church and onto the street.

"This is like one of those Disney Land rides where half the line is hidden until you get inside," joked one voter.

With the Democrats picking up 300,000 new voters this election cycle and record turnouts expected, the lines might only get longer as the day goes on.

Check back in throughout the day, as I'll be posting from various locations around the city.

Next Stop: Temple University, where the Pennsylvania Public Interest Research Group is busing students to and from the polls.
