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 went at 10:00 a.m. My precinct is normally 75% elderly people. Today, it was all ages. I saw many more younger people than in the past. It always amazes me and makes me happy to see some of the people that come out that normally don't get out much. i.e. people on oxygen, in wheelchairs, very old, and other reasons. They make it out to vote, no matter what.

I was there a total of 10 minutes. The most memorable thing was the girl that signed me up and gave me a ballot. The moment I reached the table, she excused herself and started coughing violently, blowing her nose violently, etc. The poor thing sounded like she needed to go home and go to bed. I was a little disturbed that I had no hand sanitizer with me. Her fellow workers were worn out from obviously hearing this all morning. I hope she's okay and eventually went home.
On that note: she was fairly young. I've never seen a worker at my precinct that's under 55.
Overall, it was a good experience. At least until I hit the center of town and noticed hoards of people holding up "the other candidate's" signs. Oh well.

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.

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.

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