<p>No line at all :-)</p>
<p>There’s about 15 people in front of me when I started on the line at around 4:30 pm and other lines were just as long or longer with more people joining up as time went on. Waited about 15-25 minutes to sign my name, go to the scantron booth, vote, and submit my ballot for counting. </p>
<p>Feel bad for those coming after as the worst time to vote in my area is anytime after 5:30 as the evening rush hour/last minute crowd starts gathering at that time. </p>
<p>Heard from a morning neighbor that the 7 am line was worse than mine which doesn’t surprise me. Morning/evening rush hours tend to be the worst followed by a slight lunchtime crowd based on past experiences doing polling work. </p>
<p>Glad to have voted…especially considering one of the local candidates happens to be an older HS alum. :)</p>
<p>Incidentally, no one asked me nor anyone in front of me for ID.</p>
<p>No line in Tidewater Virginia for husband at 730am and me at 3pm.</p>
<p>One person in front of me at 8am, rural outskirts of a suburban area, not a swing state. It took me 5 minutes to get my ballot (creaky old election board worker took forever to find that other person’s name in the alphabetized listing).</p>
<p>My D was the only kid there; they pointed us to a quiet back room where I could explain the state questions to her without worrying that I’d disturb anyone else. (Yes, I could do that explaining at home, but I think she gets more out of seeing the actual process. I’ve taken her every election since she was born.) There were probably 20 people voting when we arrived, and a line plus maybe 25 people with ballots in hand when we left 20 minutes later.</p>
<p>It took my daughter one hour in line in Michigan to vote this morning.</p>
<p>No line at all at our local grange hall. I love voting there - feels very New Englandy!</p>
<p>Depends too on if your state had early voting. I know many, many people who took advantage of that in Ohio.</p>
<p>Here’s another vantage point. My H works at a place that hosts voting. Kind of a lower income area. On a typical Election Day (not presidential) 30-40 voters show - yes, all day. By mid afternoon today they had over 300 voters.</p>
<p>Long lines at my polling place, too, longest I’ve ever seen. The incumbent would have to do a naked chest bump with Idi Amin’s corpse to put our state in play for the presidential race but we do have a close Senate race and some interesting ballot questions.</p>
<p>Whatever the outcome it’s really good to see such high turnout in so many areas, especially after such a long and often ugly campaign.</p>
<p>South Carolina…1:45 minutes (less than last presidential) but in some areas of town wait was 4-5 hours because of too few machines. Bad, they should know how many they need by now.</p>
<p>My voting line is very short:</p>
<p>“hi handsome, do you vote here often?”</p>
<p>College daughter and I walked right in at 5:30. We had at least 20 voting machines and all but 2 or 3 were in use, just enough for us.</p>
<p><em>groans</em> :)</p>
<p>Long lines. By the way, my daughter wasn’t able to get home (NY area) to vote (gas shortage), so they allowed her to vote by affidavit ballot in her college town.</p>
<p>An hour’s wait here in a Boston suburb. Longest line/wait I’ve ever experienced. Had my 83 year old mom with me. She allowed that next presidential election she’d be requesting an absentee ballot.</p>
<p>I voted early. D2 voted absentee. D1 reported waiting about 1 hour to vote at 11 am. She said line was over 2 hours long by the time she got to the head of the line.</p>
<p>We have open voting for the first time ever (meaning you don’t have to vote in your local precinct). City released smart phone apps 2 weeks ago to help locate voting sites and to tell how long the wait is.</p>
<p>Major city, in a leaning, but not swing state. </p>
<p>Open seats in Senate and congressional races have made for a nasty and noisy campaign season here. County clerk reported exceptionally high turn outs in early voting period.</p>
<p>Waited just a few minutes–small town in central MA. We have one polling place in our town and it was busier than usual, but no long lines.</p>
<p>I voted early in a DC-bordering Maryland city, line was 2 blocks long and 2.5 hours long. We’re obviously not a swing state, but lots of questions here: DREAM act, gay marriage, and a nasty nasty campaign battle over casino table gaming. </p>
<p>Coworkers who have voted today (DC to Baltimore basically) have given ranges of 15 minutes to 2 hours</p>
<p>Not bad. But we live outside town and assigned to a VERY small precinct. Still, seems turnout is stronger this time, comparatively. Love this democratic system of govt.!!!</p>
<p>The longest lines I’ve ever seen since Giuliani’s first win as mayor.</p>
<p>I vote in Bedford-Stuyvesant, a traditionally black neighborhood. There were lots and lots of voters at my polling place, and lots and lots of poll workers who seemed very well-organized. It took me abut 15-20 minutes from start to finish. Many parents showing their kids how they do their civic duty.</p>
