About 5 minutes.
There was no one in the A-J line, but the K-Z line was 3 deep, with the person in front not being on the rolls despite having a card for that precinct.
I was slightly annoyed when, after checking my DL to check me off the voting roll at the first table, they also required it at the second and scanned it as they programmed my voting card.
At this point, there is no way I can know they aren’t linking my scanned ID with my vote.
ymmv
There was a fairly long line, but I didn’t have to wait in it because I was dropping off my vote-by-mail ballot. It was funny because as I was passing those waiting in line, about half a dozen people were standing in line with their mail ballots. On my way back out I told them all they could go to the front of the line. There’s a separate ballot box for those dropping off mail ballots.
No wait whatsoever. I was the slowest part of the process. Lafayette, Louisiana.
Chicago redistricted, but I also moved a few months ago so I ended up in a new district anyway, re-registered at the same time I updated my address, and the Board of Elections sent my polling place info to me some weeks in advance. I must be lucky in this regard, because it’s once again right around the corner from where I live.
I went at 11am and there were only a smattering of people there. After taking a moment to figure out which precinct I belonged to (there were two tables/two precincts), I just walked up the the table, no waiting at all.
There were like 50 judges on the retention ballot, so altogether (including walking) it took me about an hour.
Early voting. Rural south Texas. In fact, the polling place was populated by the cast of Bernie.
Chicago redistricted, as well, but my polling place didn’t change. It’s less than a minute walk. I waited about 10 minutes in line, but that was only because several people in front of me had apparently never seen a ballot before so had to take the “voting for dummies” course from the elections judge person before they could move on and the rest of us could get our ballots.
Our ballots were long this year, indeed. Took me about 10 minutes to complete all the arrows, I had my list of votes for “yes” and “no” on my phone so didn’t have to spend any time deliberating, just follow the list and complete the arrows down the line. Still, took a while.
And sending the info by satellite to the Kremlin.
10 minutes–or possibly less–Kentucky.
I was there about a quarter to seven a.m. Fifteen minutes earlier, the line was about 4 people longer.
5 minutes, Madison, WI. Voter #1307 @ 3 pm.
Oklahoma, there was one person ahead of me.
Sacramento. I arrived at 5:00, and waited about 40 minutes. When I left, the line was 10-15 people longer than when I arrived.
Tippecanoe County, Indiana. We’ve gone off the “must vote in your precinct” model, and I could have cast my ballot today at any of 19 polling stations in the county. I picked the township fire station, which was the option nearest to my home, and waited for about 25 minutes in a line that looped into and out of the firefighters’ break room/kitchen.
Still, I had a shorter wait than I would have if I’d opted to vote early when I was at the grocery store last Saturday – the poll worker there told me the estimated wait time would be close to an hour, so I correctly gambled that I’d save time by waiting until today.
No time at all; I was the only guy there. San Diego, CA, at noon.
I was able to take a few hours off from the relief effort to go back home. My part of town was able to keep the normal polling place. The north part of town is mostly dark and the polling was moved to the high school. I got there about noon and had to wait around 30 minutes. Central NJ.
Probably about 2 minutes. But I wasted time trying to fine the polling place, thanks to Google Maps. They were off by about a block and around the corner. I should have used GPS instead.
Groton CT, at 1845 - no one in either line (A-L and M-Z, I think). Just walked in, showed ID, waited for them to cross me off the list, took a ballot, and went over to the booth.
No wait - central Illinois.
My parents said it took about an hour, which is longer than it took last time I voted in person. I voted by mail, so I don’t know.
Chicago. No wait.
County worker checking in. I spent my evening fixing machines. That usually meant that I needed to find the unplugged electric cord, but once had to find the unplugged e-verify cord.
Yavapai county might seem backwards, but our election procedures are great. Most people mail their ballots in, that’s a really easy option. We have a bunch of “vote anywhere” places. As long as someone is on the electronic list and has ID (which is easily done by swiping the voter’s driver’s license or state ID card), one can vote. Most people choose to use the touch screens, but in very rural areas like mine, paper ballots happen, but not a lot.
Over 100 precents reported almost 80% of their votes within an hour.
DAMN!!! I just flipping LOVE modern technology.
