In & Out in 5 minutes!

I went to the polls at 7 a.m. when they opened. There was a huge line of maybe 400 to 500 people. But the line went quickly and I was ouit in a half hours time maybe a little longer. But the line went smoothly and so did the voting. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I voted today for the very first time and it was pretty good. It took all of about 10 minutes and I went with my oldest brother and stepdad. My brother kind of showed me the ropes and it went pretty quick. I also heard that ppl in other states were waiting 6-8 hours in line to vote.

Yes, I voted and it took me about 12 or 14 minutes to do so. The line was about 3 people deep. When I got to my polling place there was a young boy sitting in a chair and he asked my name and looked me up in a portable electronic tablet. There I was and he told me I could go ahead. I guess that the device looks up people to see if they are registered or not. Anyways after that was the table where they gave me a piece of paper that I filled out my name and address and signed. Then they checked my identification and I went to another table that was separated by letters of last names. There they had the books with our names and addresses and I signed on the line there and they gave me a card. Then I waited in the line to vote. At that line I handed the worker my paper I had filled out and signed and she told me which machine to vote at. I voted and took my card out and handed it back to her. Again, this whole process took under 15 minutes for me. Now, if I had gone there about 30 minutes earlier there was a line out the door. I think I just missed the rush. One thing for sure, I am glad I didn't get stuck in one of those lines that was 2 hours long! I did notice that there were two more tables off to the side and I don't know if those people were registering to vote or if they did not have identification with them or maybe they had moved and were at the wrong polling place. The line for those tables was pretty long. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

I went about 2:30 and was in and out in 10 minutes.

Glad you had a good experience this morning at the polls. We haven't voted yet. My husband is working, but he will take off early this afternoon and come home, take a bath, and then we'll go vote. We usually don't have to wait very long. And,thank goodness, it's not raining here!

I voted this morining and it took about 5 min. as well, There was a line for people to register however. But then I didn't have to do that. I hope you have a wonderful day your friend onlydia

that is wonderful... i can never go in and out within half an hour when i am voting... especially back in my home country... i never do voting in the place where i am living now because i am only a permanent residence here and i am not allowed to vote... take care and have a nice day...

That is great. I am glad that you got in and out. I hate waiting. I have not coted yet.

I voted back on the 24th. I took my mom over to the absentee voting when it was held at her place and voted at the same time. There was a bit of a line but it was moving pretty well. Of course, except for the 20 something poll watcher, I was the youngest person there! Even the Judge, Asst. Judge, and Clerk were all older folks.

It was the same for me, in and out quick. I went at 11:30 am between jobs. when I was leaving there was a line starting again.

Me too! I was jonesing a little bit - My boyfriend and I were planning to go to the polls together. His original ETA was supposed to be around 10 AM, when he came back into town from a gig. He ended up having to take a detour the night before to attend a meeting for another of his businesses. So now the ETA is 1 or 2 PM - and he calls at about 1:30 to tell me he's on his way - so now I know we will be seeing each other finally after 2 weeks, in about 2 hours - barring any unforeseen circumstances! Now - we live in a small town, and I know that a lot of people have voted early, but I'm still freaking that we will now end up in the lines created by the people who are coming in after school and work... Guess what - there was a parking lot full and the 2 streets encompassing the city building - but no huge lines! We got checked in, were pointed to the next station, given our instructions, voted and ran our ballots through the machine - zip-zap - were done and on our way back home. I think it took longer to find a parking space than it took to vote!

I live in a small town, with only one place to vote. So I figured the place would be super busy. When I drove up there were only about ten cars there - and I think all of them were working the election. Because when I walked inside I was the only one there to vote. LOL So I had no wait whatsoever. I showed my card, signed my name, marked my ballot and out the door I went in less than five minutes.

Yes, I went to vote about 1 pm today and I walked right in and voted and right back out. Total of five minutes. I was prepared to stay a while. I saw the news before I left home that there was a long wait at some of the voting precinct.

I had no long lines. :) But I live in a very small town. :) I think that I also got there at just the right time. :) All of the extremely early morning voters had already voted. :) I will not want to be there around 4 p.m. or so. :) That is when it will get crazy around here! :) I feel sorry for those who live in the large cities all across America! :)

Yes, when polls first open, lunch time and after 5 are the times that would be very busy..I won't be able to go until later today, around 4:30 and hope that I get there in time before th rush of people getting off work..

Lucky you that you got there early. Got in and got out, I know that you were happy about that. Just think about all those that are still in line right now at four pm in the evening. Waiting to vote. At least you went early and not to late.

One thing that a lot of people don't realize is that during early voting, Not all of the polling places were open, So the lines were long. In my county there was only one polling place open during early voting so of course the lines were long. It's just propaganda.

Yes, I voted yesterday. I live in a far suburb of Chicago, and I went in the middle of the day when most people are at work, so I got in and out fairly quickly. There were actually more volunteer workers there then there were actual voters. There are also lots of votiing places around here, each covering different neighborhoods and you have to go to the one where your own neighborhood is, so everyone is all spread out. This is the 3 Presidential election I have voted for in this area and I have never had to wait in line. They are very organized with the voting here where I live.

good for you. u lucked up. no, i didn't vote.

I thought I got in and out pretty quickly, but my time at the polls was an eternity compared to yours. There was a line when I got to the polls, but it moved quickly. Still, I think I was there at least 30 to 45 minutes.
