Thread Name: BS: Lines at the Polls
Subject: RE: BS: Lines at the Polls
Voted (Lin and I) 4 days ago. Early voting set up and running for a couple of weeks. Son voted about 4 days before we did, but I had to wait for info on a couple of local candidates.

I believe our place had 7 machines (Diebold but with paper print of the ballots visible as we made selections). We saw two voters(?) coming out as we drove in. There were 2 inside voting when we got to the line, and one other came in before we left. Since we prepared before going in, under two minutes there.

Word here was that 40% of eligible voters had already done the deed by the weekend, although they were expecting some waits for the other 60% today. No news reports of any long lines today - although the news is pretty well saturated with the national "predictions" and other inanities.
