How long did you have to wait to vote?

Polls opened at 8, and I was there at 8:05. I still had to wait about 30 minutes.

I was surprised the line was that long when it opened.

I voted Oct. 30th and it took about 30 minutes, but it went by quickly because I had a nice blonde MILF in line in front of me.

11:00 AM, waited 5 minutes.

Although the guy working the line said that the line was wrapped around the block and the wait was 2-3 hours when the polls opened.

Got there at 6:30am. Polls opened at 7:30am. I was out of there in 15 minutes. The line was not long at all. Heard one of the voting attendants say that 45% voted early in my county.
