Voted about 10 am this morning. We were in and out in 10 minutes but there was a steady stream of people. I was #600 and the lady said the turnout was heavy so far...

Voted with my son this morning, his first time voting as an 18 yr old. We were in line at 6:30 when the polls opened and was probably 30th in line. Took about 40 minutes total.

I voted, at about 10:30 as is my habit. I find that this is the sweet spot for line shortness just enough after breakfast and before lunch to psychologically reduce the crowd. There was no line, walked in, showed ID, and voted. The count is usually about 180 in my precinct when I have voted before, I forgot to ask, but when my wife went at about 7:00AM, it was already at 178, so I think turnout is going to be high. Not to mention that it is a beautiful sunny day, in NoVA, at least. No "I voted" stickers handed out this year as in most places. They were also handing out one-time use pens that didn't work very well, I used my own. In this part of VA, you mark a paper ballot that gets fed into a scanner for counting.

Voted at 10:30 no wait at all. Turn out was a little heavier than usual. Indiana should declare for Trump 5 minutes after polls close. Paper ballot scanned in. I was #195 and that's heavy for my small precinct.

I was #18 in our precinct today. This is the first time voting at our new house so I can’t speak intelligently about whether the line of about 60 people behind me was normal or not.

Voted. Was expecting huge lines. Nada. Walked in, voted, walked out. Forward motion stopped only to pick up ballot, mark up ballot, and shove ballot in scanner. All those people who stood on early voting lines for 2-3 hours took one of the team to keep the regular voting easy.

That's about the magic time to vote here. We walked in around 10:55 and were sitting in the car at 11:05 deciding where to have lunch.

Voted! Long line, hour and 50 minutes ..... had the pleasure of BSing with a DOC employee the whole time so that made it a little better.

I voted early this morning. There was a very long line and even though it was moving at a good pace it still took about 45 minutes. The poll people told me there were a lot of first time voters today too.

Voted by mail a week or so ago, as Washington State has been a vote-by-mail state for quite some time. I checked on-line last night, and my vote was officially recorded...so as blue as WA is, we know Trump received at least one vote here!

I voted this morning. Longer line than normal but moved at a reasonable pace. I appreciate the poll workers that put in the time to help the process.

No line at my polling place at 10am local time. In fact, it took longer for them to check me in than it did to cast my ballot for four more years of winning. Big Grin

WE figured we`d beat the lunch crowd here in my small central ma town and went to the HS at 11am. WE walked right in with zero line and finished up in less than 5 minutes.

Fresh out of the hospital, I walked to my polling place to vote because you couldn't get near it in a car.

After I voted I was disgusted as usual. The presidential race and one congressinaL race on the ballet. Past that there were probably 12 races for judges at various level. EVERY SINGLE ONE of them, no choice. The same canditate running on every party line. This pisses me off to no end. If someone runs unopposed, fine. But the same person shouldn't be running as a Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Libertarian and Green party.

For those facing long lines, please get in line sooner rather than later. The hippies and kids always show up later - how many times have we heard the Dems insist that local courts have to force the election sites to stay open later to accommodate everyone who's in line? - so don't expect the lines to get shorter and don't leave it up the the ref as to whether you were in line on time or not!

Voted a bit past 10am.

No line to speak of.

Was number 289.

Two officers were outside, so stopped by to say hello and thanks. They were very pleasant fellows, indeed.
