All the parking lots at the polling places are packed and lines are clear out the buildings.
I am not sure what to do because I can't stand for very long. There is no way I can stand in line for an hour.

Best wishes.

And don't forget to take any medications if you need those (sometimes I get so excited, flustered or forgetful that I realize I didn't do it until after I get to my destination ) plus bring water and perhaps a protein bar just in case. Good luck! !

(8,303 posts)I have never voted anywhere with people so bad that waiting voters wouldn't shunt the old/injured/sick to the front of the line.
Only problem might be that people would get worried, carry you home, do the yardwork, and provide meals.
Really, there cannot be many places in this country in which someone like you wouldn't get help in the voting line if you asked for it. Just speak up.

(18,869 posts)Went at 2:15 and no line. Got right in. Could sit down to fill out paper ballot.
I am glad I made it.
There was a voter protection guy sitting right up front. Have never seen that before.
