When hubby and I showed up, there was only one person in line in front of us. When we gave them our street name, they became very confused. Apparently because our street/neighborhood is new construction (0-3 years depending on which lot you bought), the info provided on the voter location finder website(s) have incorrect info. So we had to drive over to another location, which was horrible.
It took about 25-30 minutes to get into the parking lot. Because people had parked on the curb, the driveway into the firestation parking lot ended up only being wide enough for one car, so people leaving were having a hard time getting out, and people arriving were trying to get in.
Once I was in line, I stood for only 15 minutes or so. Then another 10-15 minutes to get out of the parking lot. Again, people coming in weren't letting people get out, and other people parking right in the lane itself. As I was exiting, two men ended up getting out of their cars and having a verbal argument in the middle of the road in front of the building, at which point I called the police to come direct traffic or do SOMETHING.
So maybe an hour; when I left it was around 10am.
ETA: I was voter 485 in my precinct.
I was really impressed with the excitement of people in line, as well as the number of teenagers waiting to vote.
