I did, but unless something drastically changes here, it was fruitless.

Yeah damn it. I want my sticker. Since my county went to all mail-in ballots years ago I haven't got one.

I'm flying home this evening. I'll be dropping off my ballot sometime tomorrow on election day.

Got the sticker. We're doing paper ballots with a reader. We had no line in "our" new consolidated location but the 'other' line was around the block. Lots of first-time voters in PJs and flip flops. I've a feeling a horde of unregistered voters will discover they cannot vote. Registration deadline in PA: Oct. 19

BIG shout out to the Acme for donating 5 boxes of donuts to the poll workers. I was in and out of Acme in a few minutes, no hesitation from the manager. Fresh, from the merchandiser, choice selections.

My wife and I got in line at our polling place at 6:45am, already a dozen people ahead of us. At opening, 70 folks in line. When we left the polling room, there were more people in line. A couple of poll workers were saying "it is going to be a busy day". My county is heavily red.

Tried to use my concealed carry permit as ID, but it was a hassle, lady would have to enter my information manually, so I gave her my DL and she scanned the bar code on the back and voila, all of my info checked out. Printed me an access code and receipt, got a paper ballot, inserted into the machine, entered my code. Voted on a touchpad screen, verified my final selections, then printed out the ballot to scan in another machine for the final tally. Got my oval sticker.

This should be the way we do elections nationally.

Voted. Was the 17th to do so in my precinct.

Got in line at 06:30. Line was already out the building and half-way along the walkway leading up to the entrance. By the time the polls opened the line was down to the end of that walkway, along that side of the building, around the corner and half-way to the other end of the building.

Should have been out by 07:15, but, due to the two critical poll workers responsible for verifying voter registration not showing up: I didn't finish until 07:45.

(Those two who took the training, committed to be there, and no-showed should be flogged.)

By the time I got out the line was all the way to the other end of the front of the building.

I have never seen the polls so busy in the twenty-eight years I've been voting in my precinct.

Voted. We may not flip Commiefornia, but I’ll bet the popular vote margin is a lot tighter this time.

Voted. Arrived at 7:00am exactly, there were estimated 200 people in line ahead of me. Line moved fairly smoothly and with no issues; was back in the car on the way into work at 8:15.

I have voted at the same location for my entire voting life, have never seen a line of more than 5-6 people before. Also, the voting has always been done with electronic machines, and you got a paper stub when done with confirmation that your vote was cast. I walk in and they check my name on the voter roll (with my Driver's License, see, is that so hard?) and then hand me a paper sheet with each of the 5 or 6 offices and candidates that are eligible for votes. I will say that EVERY office, Democrat candidate was first, then Republican, then Libertarian, any other party and then a space for a write-in candidate at the bottom of the block. Can't be "D" before "R" because "L"ibertarian was listed after Republican on every list. Had to fill in a circle with a blue ink pen next to a candidate and then move to a scanner that scanned the sheet when I fed it in, it just then confirmed that the scan was successful, but I got no confirmation stub with this process.

Local Township Democrats had a table ooutside the door; paid girl was asking people if they would complete an exit poll. She didn't bother asking me. If she had, I would not have done it anyway.

I got in line at my polling location at 0550 hrs and was probably around number 50 or 60 in line. The doors opened at 0600, I was inside by 0610, had my ballot by 0615, and was out the door by 0620.

I voted. Took about an hour, but the precinct moved people in and out pretty efficiently. Good turnout for our area.

I voted. My precinct had about 100 people in line when it opened. When I was leaving, the line had doubled.

Voted at 6:05 this AM.

BUT, a better story:

My father-in-law is 68 and has not ever voted in his life. He was at poll this morning before me with my MIL. He said that there was no way he was going to let Biden win... Amazing!

Voted, and 84.15% of Collier county has as well so far, and the number is increasing. Rep 2 to 1 Dem.

if all of FL is similar it would be perfect.

Pretty decent turnout at my polling place but the line is moving steadily; we are distancing all around a huge parking lot haha.
