10 minutes to walk over there, 5 minutes to explain how to spell my last name to the poll worker, 5 minutes to find a pen, about 2 minutes to actually bubble in the ballot.
No lines at 9:30am in NC, though.
0 minutes. Walked in, presented my license and was given a ballot. My wife had to wait approximately 30 seconds for the jerk in front of her (me) to get processed.
We live in an uraban neighborhood just east of downtown Dallas. Went at about 7:50.
20 Minutes in line, though nearly all of it was because the man in front of me wasn’t registered and it took them about 15 minutes to confirm it and explain it to him. He walked off, unable to vote(he had moved around the country)
Voted at 11:00 in suburban Michigan.
Less than 5 mins - FL. Opted for the absentee ballot. Of course I didn’t get a chance to turn it in until yesterday. The 5 mins was wading through the people registering to vote at the last minute. The lil one and I got ‘I voted’ stickers.
No delay, I have a permanent absentee ballot. Filled it out at home and dropped it in the mailbox on my way to work last week.
I voted on the 27th, during the second week of Florida’s early voting period. I was back in my car on the way home about 30 minutes after I got there.
I voted early on Sunday, since I didn’t want to take two small children with me. It took 2 1/2 hours, but that was at the second polling place I visited. The line at the first one was 3-4 hours long.
Forty minutes. We went mid-morning to avoid the first in and lunch crowd. The county allowed political dress, most poll workers wore McCain-Palin endorsements and the grounds were covered with only GOP signs. The Dems had fought to allow this, so there’s democracy at work.
The folk in line marveled at the turn out. Weather a bit overcast, almost warm.
I’m in line right now - have been waiting for about 45 minutes but I think I’m almost there!
I waited a little over 1 hour - arrived at 7am (when the polls opened) and left around 8:15. A poll worker mentioned that there were about 20 people in line at 6am when he got there, and he’d never seen turnout like this. Pretty exciting.
I arrived shortly after 9:00, and waited about 45 minutes. The line was significantly longer when I left than when I arrived.
8:15 AM
I parked, walked in, walked right to my table, signed my name, voted, turned in my ballot, and got my sticker.
All told, this probably took a total of 90 seconds.
20 minutes. Funny thing, the line was longer at 10:00 a.m. than it was at 8:00 a.m.
Less than 5 minutes. Would have been no time at all, except there was a person in front of me who was arguing with the poll workers that she should be allowed to vote even though she had already sent in an absentee ballot, because she had sent in the absentee ballot blank.
No wait at all at about 11 AM. It took far longer for me to drive back home to get my license than it did to vote. Turnout was so high for the early voting, I suspected waits today would be pretty short, and I was right.
It took longer to find the correct parking area and walk into the school than I waited in line. Parked at 9:45 and drove out of the lot at 9:55. 10 minutes total time. I was voter 301.
We waited for one and one half hours to vote. This is the longest I’ve waited to vote in our neighborhood. For the mayoral election and primaries, I was done in fifteen minutes.
According to people in line, this is the largest turnout that they can recall. We also got polled when we left.
Minneapolis suburb.
11:30 a.m.
Zero wait time.
In & out in 8 minutes.
(I would have had to wait longer for a free “I voted” coffee at Starbucks)
I went about 6:20 and had to wait about ten minutes! Ten minutes! I never, ever had to wait before!
My polling place incorporates three precincts and they’re ready for heavy turnout. They had more of the curtained booths than I’ve ever seen and they had tables with little dividers if the booths weren’t enough. They’re ready.
I walked right in and had no wait. 3 other people were voting as I came in. This was at 8:00 AM in RI. I was #105, and the poll had been open at 7:00.
