I'm going to be doing the "stand in line and wait" thing next Tuesday. No choices - my state doesn't have early voting or no-excuse absentee voting (the ability to vote by absentee ballot even if you could have made it to the polls). I think I'd better bring a good book! 
Edit: I just hope that what happened last November in my town doesn't happen again. The voting machines were misconfigured and had to be taken out of service. Some districts got paper ballots, but my district was "lucky" enough to get one of the backup voting machines (properly configured). You can't use paper ballots if there's a machine available, so everyone had to wait on line to vote using this one machine. We had a huge turnout because of a hot referendum, so I wound up waiting for TWO HOURS. A lot of people saw the long line and decided not to bother voting.
