My Experience at the Polls

I showed up at the polls and was in line about 7:07. By the time I was done (50 minutes) I was the 87th voter to vote in my precinct. Doing the math that is a little under 2 people a minute voting. Normally when I go to vote it is closer to 8:00 and I am about the 90th voter. The line was cut by a third so they probably only had a 35 minute wait. So yes there are a few more voters this time but not so bad you should stay away from voting. Of course this evening will probably be real fun.

There were a few more voting stations that usual I think, 14 of them. There probably was about 12 before. They added about 3 more stations to be used for my precinct as the other precinct that was voting at the same place I was had no one in line. The processing of voters before they could go vote was a little backed up as there was almost always 1 to 3 stations not filled.

Everyone was civil. The poll workers tried to make sure that people that were in the correct line for voting so they did not waste their time. I have a few other things I could say but I worry it might influence things so this is where I end. I guess I am saying a 50 minute wait was not bad and after the morning rush it was less. This wait was longer than usual but not bad. Of course your experience will most likely be different. As a general whole be prepared to take a little longer and go do your duty.
