OT - Voting? Are there lines where you live?

Hi,
I'm in central NJ. I voted around 11 AM and there were no lines at
my district. Turnout is heavy though, I was #399, the highest I've
ever been (and that was around 3:30PM) for a presidential election was
300.
Trust your heart and go out and vote!!!
I'd be interested to know how it is in other parts of the country.

No line, but I was 635 at noon! SW VA

Virginia Beach:

Hubby went to vote this morning at 9:00. Stood in line for 2.5 hours before he could punch in his
selection.
I went after work, got there around 5:30, and waited for 2 minutes to punch in my selections.
You should have seen the lines this morning!! I have to drive by the school where we go to vote and
the whole parking lot was full and cars were lined up on either side of the roads that border the
school. It was pandemonium and I am soooooooo glad I waited till after work to vote.

No lines here (Oregon), anywhere, anytime. We've had vote-by-mail for a
number of years, and it's quite convenient. We get our ballots a couple
weeks before Election Day, and fill them out at our leisure. Then we can
either mail them back, or drop them in special locked election boxes anytime
before or by 8pm on Election Day. I'm just ecstatic that the election
commercials and junk mail is gone!!!

You know what gripes my soul about the whole process? The big $$$ the
candidates spend to win... I think there ought to be a very LOW cap on
spending. That money could have been used for something constructive instead
of trading superficial swipes at one another!!! As it stands, the one with
the biggest pot usually wins - how is that fair or democratic?????
Especially when they ALL are reassuring us that they really ARE for the
little guy (translate that "financially disadvantaged"). And claiming that
they are NOT kowtowing to the special interest groups that fund them!
Hyprocrisy thy name is politics!!!

.... falling off my soapbox now... LOL

Yup, I'm with you. We went to all mail voting a year or so ago too
and it's SO much nicer !

And goodbye for sure to all the propaganda and junk mail. YES !
