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

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.

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!

Was this a isolated incident, do you know? The state election board should have been called about this stuff. The local PD or State Police
are the ones to provide any "security" needed at polling places.

Totally uncalled for.
