Just curious what people have gotten? I tried to beat the traffic and got to my spot at 6:30, but seniors live to vote and I was stuck in what they thought would be a 2+ hour line GRRR!!!! I knew I had to be at work by 8:30 so off I went, now I have to come back later
....Anybody else?

I drove by ours at 6:30 am.....line was HUGE. Went back about 8am and line was 1/2 shorter. I heard a lady walking out telling a friend that she got there at 6:40 and was walking out at 8am.
The line at 8am only took me about 30 minutes. I did paper ballot because the electronic line was getting too long.
I noticed a lot of people reading everything. My hubby and I printed out our ballots at home and researched our votes to make it faster. The lady next to me was there when I got to my booth and still there when I left.

I mailed my absentee ballot days ago

How your guys states with the early voting? Florida has over 40% of voters already voted early, and some parts expect to see a 85% turnout!

I think their was a 40% turnout in harris county (houston) for early voting. The way I figure it if 60% of the registered voters vote it should be pretty mellow today.

At 8:05am there was no line at all and only a handfull of people inside. It was raining, though. I turned in my vote by mail ballot and waited while my wife filled hers out. 4 years ago we waited about 45 minutes.

I got there at 5:30. Only took me 15 mins after the polls opened at 6:30. My parents and sister voted early on Sunday and they had to wait 4 hours and 45 mins.

My parents are working the polls this morning. I am seriously worried for their safety.

Yep, there's problems here too. I think the problems are stemming from people not realizing to also fill out the back of the ballot, which has a couple things about Amendments on them, and that's screwing the machines up.

No problems in Delaware...small state, lots of polling places. In and out in 2 minutes! Sorry to hear about long waits elsewhere, but at least the election has people energized to participate regardless of your political views!

There was a line out into the parking lot this morning, but when I went after work I walked right in, went through the check-in, and up to a machine, all in under 5 minutes.
