Got to the polling place at 3:20PM, waited for about 15 minutes.  
My wife got there at 6 AM (opening at 6:30) and waited 45 minutes.

In Twinsburg, OH, in very BLUE Summit County!

My wife and I waited about 20 minutes at our poling place in small town eastern Ohio. We usually just walk in and vote, or maybe one of us has to wait while the other does.
