15 minutes, which was a big crowd in my podunk town.

Standing there in my leathers and carrying my helmet got one of the locals going about how Harley's are "real bikes" and helmets are dangerous.

Re: voters - for Americans only (obviously)
I heard that due to the high volume of people trying to vote, they've come up with an ingenious plan to reduce the congestion:
- Republicans to vote Tuesday
- Democrats to vote Wednesday

No line for me either - about 15 booths, about 10 voters while I was there. I'm voting again later so I'll let you know how it is then.

Terry McAuliffe thanks you.

I was in and out in ~20 minutes. I thought about voting early, but I guess I wanted to go by "tradition".

Right after I give you the right arms, get your socialist healthcare canceled, make english your only official language, etc

Canadians are wonderful neighbors but on our government you have less saying than my dog

WOW, you guys were lucky. i spent 2 hours in line. went at 1030, figured it would be quick.

it was my first time voting.

I was thinking while in line, how many of ANY of the candidates would have stood in line to do anything for me

After getting home from work last night, the wife and I went over our ballots and walked down to the poling place. Stood in line for about 10 minutes. As we were leaving we noticed the line to be about five times longer than when we arrived.

Re: voters - for Americans only (obviously)
1 hour at 2 o'clock. The line grew exponentially after 3.

I was waiting by a guy who's lived in the same house in our neighborhood since 1958 (I think it was) and he said this was the first time he's ever waited in line.

It was actually kinda fun, met lots of neighbors and everyone was jovial.
