Took me 40 minutes from start to finish to vote. Got to the polls around 6:45, already quite a line. They ushered us through like cattle. How long did it take you?

Was standing outside waiting for the doors to open at 5:45 this morning.   Let an elderly couple go ahead of me because it was a bit chilly.    Took me less than 3 minutes to vote.   As I was leaving, the line had grown and was getting longer as I drove away.   Looked to be a very heavy turnout.   Hope so, a large turnout would favor my (lessor of evils) candidate.    If I was a betting man, I would bet that KY goes for Trump but, with all those folks who kept circling back to get in line again, who really knows.    Would have helped a lot if they (the election officials) had spoken Spanish I suppose.  Wink

Buses with out of state tags were just rolling in when I came back by an hour or so later.  Wink

About to leave for Montana to vote.  They don't check ID there do they?  I bought a lick 'n stick US flag tattoo to prove my citizenship.  I'll have to mind my sorrys and ehs.  My backup plan is voting in the Idaho panhandle.

About an hour in the Man Cave while the Packers got whipped - and the Broncos.  Had to read through the analysis book on the amendments etc.  Turns out the greater rate of early lefty ballots being returned has been eclipsed now by right-thinking voters.  Almost a traffic jam at the ballot dropoff lane at the Parker city hall.  Looks like the lefty dreams might fizzle in CO.  Pundits have been saying, Trump voters don't want to admit it; avoiding conflicts.  But will vote their choice.

Just finished took about 10 minutes.
Line was 8 to 10 throughout.

At this time of day that is a crowd for our very rural voting place.

Straight through, could not have been faster.  Waited until after the early going-to-work crowd was gone.

I asked my poll worker, who made the voting machine?.  Blank stare.  It was not a Soros machine (Smartmatic).  Voted down all the bond issues as usual (if you need my permission to borrow more money, it'll be a long wait).  Only up vote was to exempt unremarried spouses of fire/police/EMS/search-and-rescue killed in line of duty from real estate tax (which is ridiculous where I live).

My annual real estate tax is now over a quarter of what my house cost new in 1960 on a third acre.  (And it was far from special when built in 1960)

How long?  About 7.5"..... on a good day.   Grin

it took me about a half hour a week and a half ago.  Lots of other issues effecting our town, state.  Then 15 minutes around trip to drop off the ballots in a drop off box.

There too was a steady stream.

90 minutes.  At our polling place they have 2 wards (Neighborhoods) voting, mine the 22nd had a line out the door, the other ward, 14, people walked in and out, no waiting.  It is like that every time I vote.  Thinking of moving to ward 14.

Voted at 10am, walked right through. I was voter 798 at 10am, last time around the same time of day I was voter 275 . Looks like a lot more people care what happens.

Went right around 1320 to vote. In the last two potus elections it was NO where near as busy as it was today. I've done my civic Duty and now I KNOW after the tube is turned on til It's FINAL I will git "projections" til I'm NOT only ready to puke but I'll be seriously be considering using the flat screen fer target practice!  tickedoff And who EVER becomes potus until thy are sworn in the pundits and talking heads will be telling us WHY the other one should have won and the one that won should not have won. What zackly will all the talking heads have on their plate when this election is Finally in the books??   uglystupid2 RIDE SAFE.
