Share Your Voting Experience Here - Long Lines, Young People, etc...

Not much to report here. I got there at 8:30 and there was one man in my line. As I walked up he went into the booth. By the time I finished signing my name he was out of the booth and I went right in.

There are signs near polling places that say "This is 100 feet to a polling place". I remember them being more common in Massachusetts when I was growing up.

I guess that's shorter than "There are 50 people in line ahead of you".



Come to Cah lee Fuh Nee Ah, Voting is fun out here!

I got to the polling place at 9:30 & had voted & left in 1 hr. 30 mins. The line was long
but once inside the bldg, it went pretty quick.I was glad to see both old & young people voting.
From teens to old folks with walkers.

I went at 1:30 and was in and out in 10 minutes. There were lots of "youngin's"....but it is a college town afterall. Nothing unusual or interesting to report though.

I'll be voting after work. The line this morning @ 7:30 a.m. was half a block long! I hope they have ballots left when I get there! This is SO exciting!

I got there right after 8:30 and there was a small line, I heard at 7 there was a huge line.

It was exciting! There was someone taking pictures of a 19 year old voting for the first time.

Well, two weeks ago I sat down at my kitchen table and filled out my ballot. Stuck it back in the envelope, and walked out to the mailbox. No lines, no fuss.

I'm about to go now. It'll be my first time voting.

I think it's funny because of the time differences it looks like some of you are claiming to have voted in the future from when it says you posted.

I went around 9 this morning. I had to wait briefly behind one guy because one lady was temporarily manning both the "S-Z" line and the alphabetical section right before it. There were a number of people voting, all ages. I was in and out fairly quickly. There was a LOT of early voting in this area, which I think is keeping the lines down today.

Congratulations! Good for you!

Walked in, voted, walked out. Not a single person in line ahead or behind.

The people running it were relishing the break; they said they'd been super busy until now.

I just got back from voting. As I pulled into the parking lot, I didn't see many cars, so I was thinking there may be no line. I walked right up, verified my precinct, showed my ID and signed in. Then I waited in line for about 1/2 an hour. Not bad considering there were 2 separate precincts in one polling place and only 3 machines!

There were young and old, and me in between!

I have voted in every election since I turned 18.... something I am proud to do and proud that I have done!

I hope the long lines don't deter anyone from voting.

The workers said that the line at the time I was there was the shortest it had been all day. A couple of workers were actually taking a lunch break! I am sure it was the first break they had gotten all day!

Hubby and I went shortly after the polls opened and there was about a 30 minute wait to get checked in - then about 15 minutes to use the machines. Not bad at all I don't think. There was early voting available so that is bound to have helped. I always enjoy seeing neighbors there and so chose to vote in person. I was a little surprised to be offered machine or paper ballots. There was no line whatsoever for paper. But I waited anyway because there were very few places to actually sit and do the paper - plus I enjoy the atmosphere. Folks looked much more serious than usual - I did notice that - also a few young people but maybe only 2 or 3.

Oh yes and I also got a back rub from the cute grandpa guy in back of me He asked me to go home with him so I did!
