Long Lines At Polls

Nope, not yet. But I am on my way out to do so. As I also have to pick up my daughter prescription medicine. I told my husband we need in by tiomorrow. As that is the last day I have any pills left for. He kinda of looked at me funny. But gave me th emoney to get it. As she had sever ADHD /ODD. If sh does not have her medicine she will not be able to focus in school and I am sure I would get a call about her.

I actually just got back from voting...FOR THE FIRST TIME It wasn't all that bad. I went with my oldest brother and my stepdad and my brother showed me the ropes...what line to stand in, where the ballots were...and then I got a voting booth and filled in my ballot. It wasn't too bad and it took all of about 10 minutes. [b]~~MY OWN PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF**[/b]

If you go to Tim Hortons today with your stickers they will give you free coffee.

I'm going to go vote in a few minutes. I wanted to avoid the morning rush. Last election everyone was there at 7am, so I thought I'd wait for people to vote and then get to work. But you're right, the lines always go quickly. My polling place is a local high school near here. I think it will be somewhat of a long line, but it will move quickly, I'm sure. It is around 8:35am right now, so around 9am I'll be going.

I'm going vote in a little bit. I heard on the news this morning that the busiest times would be early in the morning, around noon, and after working hours. I figured I'd go in the in between times, though here in my small town, I don't expect it to be too crowded.

You probably had long lines from people who needed to vote before heading to work, because the polls would be closed before they could get home..I will probably be long when I go out too, around 4:30 after my husband returns home from work..But if I had a car, I would go around 2:30-3:00, when most people are at work, because I hate standing in long lines..

good you did not have to wait long.my experience till date has been bad.i dread to wait in long lines.

I did not vote yet, but will right after I get off of work.

I'm registered as a permanent absentee voter because of my back problems, so I get to avoid those long lines. I sent my ballot in a couple of weeks ago. Hubby just got registered to vote just before the deadline, so he has to go after work and cast his ballot. Hopefully the lines will have dwindled down by then.

I'm glad you got it overwith. I have not voted yet. I hate waiting in the long lines.

The line was long, but it moved quickly. I had to wait about a half hour.

I am glad that you didn't have to wait too long in line. I will be going to vote this afternoon when my husband gets home. It shouldn't take too long because we live in a small town so I am not worried about there being a long line.

Way to go Grandpa Bob. I did the early voting since we went out of town and was for sure if we were coming back yesterday or today. Where I live we had a good early voting turnout and from what I have seen on TV this morning the lines are pretty long but they say they are moving along smoothly.

Yes, I hear the lines are long, and no I haven't voted yet, but I plan to as soon as I get ready. I don't expect the lines to be too long where I vote, because I live out in the country in a little community, and there aren't a whole lot of people out here. Have a good day

Nope haven't made it to vote as of yet. I don't own a car and have to wait for my mom or sister in law to take me when they go to vote. I am hoping so late in the day the lines won't be to long and will move quickly.

Hi, :) I just got back from voting and I was shocked by how short the line was. Actually it was so short I doubt it even qualifies AS a line. I was in and out in 15 minutes and that includes stopping for a cup of cider. This year is definately the best voting experience i've ever had. Vote in 2008!

My husband went about an hour after it opened on his way to work, and walked right in. I was about an hour later and walked right in too. Thank goodness because I had to drag my 4 year old along with me. I was hoping to not have to entertain him in line. My son thinks this voting stuff must be really cool because they give you stickers.

The lines weren't long at all here. But our town only has 9,000 people and we went during business hours. We were the only ones in line for our ward when we arrived. I think we spent more time figuring out just what ward we were in then to actually vote.

Some polls opened at 6AM. I have a friend in Missouri and they opened at 6. Her husband went then to vote and had to wait about an hour, considering there were so many ahead of him. Her son went later and waited 45 minutes. She is going at lunch and probably won't have that big of a wait. We live in Alabama. My daughter lives an hour away from us. There was nobody at her polling place when she went to lunch. She didn't go vote since her son, who is a 7th grader, gets 25 or 35 points for going with her for his history. She said he didn't need the points, but she didn't want to disappoint him so she'd wait for the long lines after work. We will be going to vote late this afternoon when my husband gets home. My son was going to vote before work, but at 6:50 this morning, there were over 200 people in line, so he's waiting!

I voted. I thought I was being early the polls open at 7:00am here I got off work and headed to the polls I made it there around 7:30am and the parking lot was already full. I knew then that I was in trouble. I was met outside by a person that I haven't seen in a long time and he wanted to talk and people were constantly passing by me going inside and I was getting farther and farther behind in line. When I did get in line I was notified that I was in the wrong line. I finally got it right voted and got the heck out of dodge.
