How long did you have to wait to vote?

[Tuckins1]

It took my husband and I about 30-40 minutes round trip... We walked to our polling place from home (it''s 1 block from our house)
How long did you wait in line?

Completely non-snarky re-direct to ATW thread that Strm started this morning. I know Hangout gets more traffic than ATW.

CA has a vote by mail optiona and I always enjoy doing this instead of waiting in lines! I wish every state had it. I love researching all of the propositions while I''m voting at home.

The whole process took about 5 min.

I arrived early this morning, stood on line for 90 min. Left, came back around 1pm thinking the lines would thin as people were more apt to be at work. NOPE, took another 2hrs45 min to get to vote. I''m glad to have done it, but very upset by the length of time it took. Over 4 hours of my day! Many others in line, were jumping out too...completely understood.

Wow... That takes some patience! So glad you hung in there!

I kind of wish I had gone to the polls today, but I always vote by mail. I also like to take my time voting and researching all of the propositions from my desk at home.

I waited about 30 minutes. I was expecting it to take longer.

I voted early. Massachusetts gives you an early voting option. I was done in five minutes.

Hi! I didn''t have to wait at all. I went to there at about 6:30 pm and nobody was there.

Ew! On the news, they were showing the lines at the polls and the reporters were interviewing people as they were leaving, many of whom had waited over 4 hours too! Craziness! But can I just say a big ol' THANK YOU for doing it?

As for myself, I voted absentee since I'm overseas, so it just took me 5 minutes to fill out the paper ballot (first one I've ever used!).

I got there at 4:30pm and there was only 1 guy in front of me. He took a while though... In Arizona you have to show photo ID with your registered address on it. If it''s not the same address you then have to present 2 other documents with your name and correct address on them. It''s a good idea, but the guy was slow to get it.

When I left there were about 15 people in line and more walking up.

15 minutes...if that.

 

[amber_312]

1 hr. 45 mins.

the line was wrapped around the building! wow!

The entire process, from getting out of the car in the parking lot to back in the car...maybe 10 minutes! I was dreading the lines...what line?...I was so happy I didn''t have to wait.
