Also in Wisconsin

Blue! Mail in ballots, no lines

4 of us lined up at 5:45am,15 minutes before the polls opened..We were 13 thru 16 in line....When they opened the doors,there were 35-40 people behind us..When we exited,there had to be close to 100 people in line....

Took this pic at 7:10.

45-60 minute wait time. Fundie Red Harnett County, NC

There were fellow Democrats in that line, hope is not lost

I'm thinking +++++++++++++++++++++++

that was 2 weeks ago in early voting.

By the tim my wife voted later in that week there had already been almost 600 early votes (she was #592) in a polling place that registered a total of about 1300 votes total in 2008.

There are a lot of "rich" (by local standards) Republicans in this district, though, because it has some fairly high-priced lakeshore property, so this may not be a good thing. There were also long lines for the Walker recall election last June, and we all know how that went.

...in an area that was barely affected by the hurricane.
Went smoothly.

and today turnout was the heaviest I've ever seen. No lines, no waiting, but every voting 'booth' was filled.

Red state, of course, but I'm in one of the bluest counties. I think we were the last or next-to-last to turn red. Here's hoping for a good result!

Albuquerque early voting rocked. My husband in and out in fifteen minutes. We are a swing state but not this year!

Now going to work in my Obama shirt to piss off the Rethugs.

Very smooth.

Polls opened at 7:00. Great turnout here.

between 6:30 and 8:00 AM. lots of cars coming and going but really really efficient people running the polls.

Also nice that the ballot isn't massive so people can read it, mark it and leave.

Early voted. Immediately got my PAPER ballot after I signed in--which took a couple of minutes. In and out in less than 5 minutes.

Sign outside just said to have Voter Registration card OR State ID available.

No hassles.

We, of course, have the glorious E-Vote ... which was a little confusing with all the unopposed Republican positions.
Election crew was very nice. People waited quietly to vote..
Oh,BTW- Texas has a Record number of Registered voters this year.

Wanting his dinner, ...I of course voted by mail.

well If you have a cat, you know how they are!

at my polling place. (Lucky me .)

Took me about 45 minutes to get through the line. They only had 4 voting booths so people were just sitting down at tables to fill out their ballot. They even had to call the election place to get more official pencils to use. Ran out of "I Voted" stickers at about 6:15am

I'm guessing of the 200 people in line at 6:00 there were maybe 10 of us Dems there. The Obama hate was strong!!

No line. In and out.

Maybe a dozen people ahead of me, a couple who signed up for assistance, a relatively short ballot (President, Senator, Representative, two Constitutional amendments), four machines (for a population of around 2,000), no waiting, no cover charge.

Whatever else one might say about my little hamlet, they consistently DO have their shit together when it comes to voting...

Very urban precinct, 60% African-American, dark blue most elections. Waited in line for 15 minutes. There was a line of about 30 when I left.

We have a populace that is mostly composed of 1) highly educated young professionals, and 2) older blue collar union workers and their families. It's a pretty intensely blue city. He'd do better taking a tour through the rural areas of the state.

15 minutes including driving a mile each way. Paper ballot with marking a line to create an arrow.

2nd page had more judges than all other races but I had a judge ballot helper for the retentions, so marked the 5 "no" then sped through the rest.

Optical tabulator showed I was #15

First thing in the morning. Kind of heartening. Tallahassee is a relatively blue city (capitol and university town), but there are plenty of Republicans around.

Bryant

It took about forty minutes in line.

I found out later that if I had gone to a different early voting place there would have been no lines. I guess I will go there next election - the two locations are about equal distance from my home.

my co-worker came in this morning and said he was in line for about an hour and half in Kissimmee, FL. (Near Orlando)

It was busier than I've ever seen it -- even for the 2008 election.

Three precincts vote at a local school. They had election helpers lining up people according to their precinct and sent people in as soon as spots opened up.

I was there for no more than 10 minutes.

It was efficient, and fast.

This is an upper income, mixed Dems and Rs town.

I voted early, but a co-worker went this morning around 6:45. A short line, but it moved quickly. This is largely a blue area.

Alabama

In and out in 5 minutes. Central California.

in Texas. I just got back from voting and it took me all of 10 minutes - including drive time to and from. I missed the early rush. Poll worker ladies said they were slammed at 7am with lots of people already lined up when they got there. They expect another lunch rush and then another slamming when people start getting off work this afternoon and evening.

Central PA, red area. Could have been even quicker as there were two to three empty voting booths at all times. I guess that's a benefit of being in a red area - a surplus of voting booths.

And that was the length 20 minutes after the polls opened.

Took about half and hour from start to finish. Usually, I just zip in and out, no waiting.

County in a red State. Took me an hour to vote this a.m. With a line in the rain.

The guy who checked me in said the lines are usually shorter by the time I voted, but it was still out the door. Excellent turn out. I am in a light blue area of Dallas.

This is the first time i've seen a line at my precinct. ( I voted early last election)
The line was fast and smooth though, the other precincts I have seen so far today are packed!
I think it's gonna be a good turn out.

I counted while leaving.

Barely blue. Heavily populated. No line.

Long lines but that does not mean a damn thing as I found out this summer while voting to recall Gov. asshole.

and we need those kind of votes again. The difference is that Barrett only ran well in Madison (Dane) & Milwaukee. Obama has strength thruout the state.
