headoverheels 329 #1 November 7, 2012 From the time you arrive at whatever line, until you got to the voting booth, how long? For me, it was under a minute, no line. Here in CA, at least locally, we have a lot of polling places; over 500 in my county alone. I voted at a Muslim meeting hall. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydiver30960 0 #3 November 7, 2012 I'm lucky since I didn't have to work today. Strolled up at 2:30PM, and had my ballot in my hand about 10 minutes later. Volunteers were nice, polling station was reasonably organized. Elvisio "no complaints, other than the options from which to choose" Rodriguez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 733 #4 November 7, 2012 Polling place? Zero time. Absentee ballot: about an hour. Maybe a bit more if you consider I had to go alllll the way to the garage to the kegerator for a refill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe a bit more if you consider I had to go alllll the way to the garage to the kegerator for a refill. I changed my mailing address about 4 weeks ago, when I realized that election materials would not be forwarded to my temporary address. They changed me away from mail-in, and I didn't have time to change that. They also registered me at my temporary mailing address (big house remodel), so I didn't get to vote on measures in my own town. I'd had absentee ballots for years, but never filled any out in time to mail -- I dropped them at a polling place on election days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 15 #9 November 7, 2012 They are still standing in line at Ohio State campus despite the polls closing almost 3 hours ago. I know one of our friends waited about 2 hours in Columbus. They actually had pizza delivered while waiting.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BikerBabe 0 #10 November 7, 2012 went around 6 pm, waited for about 50 minutes...and when we left the line was no shorter. I am in California, usually vote by mail but for some reason we were moved to the "inactive voter" list so didn't get anything this year. not sure why or even how to fix that. I'm actually quite interested to see turnout numbers this time. Based on anecdotal evidence (meaning, what i saw and what my facebook network is reporting), it seems more people came out to the polls this time.Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

JerryBaumchen 1,304 #17 November 8, 2012 Hi Southern, Quote Mail is the 21st century? I never mail anything... I still mail lots of stuff. It's probably an age thing. However, don't give me the problem; give me your solution. Mail-in is better than standing in line IMO. JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
