Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but I did hear from a lot of people who did early voting and I heard of 2 1/2+ hour waits for that.
I hope it means most voted early, or maybe everyone is tired of kidding them selves that the Diebold Accuvote TS machines will actually count their vote.
I did NOT like seeing about 70% of the local races with just one unopposed Republican as the only choice, other than "write in."
I wonder how much it would cost to get my name on the ballot for one of those local races to give Democrats someone to vote for?
How long was your line or how long did you wait and when did you vote?

(12,157 posts)Very short line at 10 a.m. today. I think we got a lot of early voters the past 3 weeks, and based on past experience, turnout was probably highest before school/work hours today.

(51,076 posts)there were a dozen or so people voting though. This is the first time I voted while sitting at a table rather than in a booth. Is that even legal?

(2,593 posts)Run, I'd love to vote for you. I, too, was discouraged by the number of races not contested by Democrats. I left those blank. Maybe the lack of lines means the Republicans are staying home. One can hope!

(17,797 posts)...for every office on the ballot? You can leave some of them with no choice and it still works?

(2,593 posts)my choices. I don't see how they could require you to vote in specific races.....

(17,797 posts)I thought they had set them up so you wouldn't have the "under vote" problem they had with the old machines.
When you got to the review screen, did it show lots of Pink boxes along with the Orange boxes?
I thought it wouldn't let you hit the "cast ballot" button if you didn't have all orange? I guess not.
