How is the voter turnout where you live?
 
How long did you wait to vote?

I went to vote at 6:00 AM this morning and there was a very long line waiting in the rain. Drove by at 10:30 and the line was just as long. This is a very small precinct and I have never waited longer than 10 minutes in the past.

I haven't checked my local precinct, but I betcha there were long lines. Thankfully, I voted early to avoid the lines. Over 150,000 people in Collin County (north of Dallas) took advantage of early voting this year.

Instead of going in at 7AM like I've done for the past 2 years for everything (schoolboard, citycouncil, sales tax, etc), I slept in and went in at 10AM. One of the poll workers even commented "you didnt come in at 7 so I thought you moved!" Was # 390 for my precinct (Ames has 20 precincts for total-population of 50,000, not sure what the voting population is)

Got in line at 7:10 (polls opened at 7:00) finally voted and left the precinct at 9:10. First time I've voted here, so I cannot say what the turn out is.

I voted Early.

My fiance's parents went at 6:30 (right when they opened) and were 26 in line. When they left, it was a huge gathering

My father road by a different place at 8 and decided to come back because of the line

My Friends father was an hour early for the polls opening and was 18 in line. It was a four hour wait in Wilmington NC when he left

I am going right now. I'll let you know how it goes. Hopefully, I will be back by 3:00.

I voted at 9:00 this morning and there was a line; I waited about twenty minutes. Usually I vote at 3:00 PM with no line, so I'm not sure how this compares to previous voter turn out but I would say it was pretty good considering the severe thunderstorms this morning.

I was voter #50. But there are a bunch of different polling places in Sacramento and my "district" is pretty small.

DZTUBAGIRL 11-02-2004 04:02 PM

I went around 11:00, I walked in and out. I was happy I didn't have to wait in line.

The line at the polling place at San Diego State Univeristy is LONG. It took me an hour just to get to the front of the place.

mmmmmm...I remember seeing it so barren in 2000...

cash78mere 11-02-2004 04:16 PM

i voted at 6:30am. i was #28 at my machine.

i walked in and out in 5 minutes.

cutiepatootie 11-02-2004 04:18 PM

I waited in line just over an hour.

PhiPsiRuss 11-02-2004 04:20 PM

10 minutes.

kddani 11-02-2004 04:34 PM

I was voter 700 at my polling place. Waited around 50 minutes, very long line. It's only going to get worse, i'm sure.

Like AlphaSig said, voting in the DFW area is up by ginormous amounts !!!!

The early voting itself set record numbers.

Which isn't really surprising considering the voters registration was up abou 250% this year in the U.S. (at least that was what was heard on the radio)

I voted early.. go me!
