2 hours, 1 hour, 50 minutes.....my friends and family are reporting how long it took them to vote this morning. I said to my colleague who came in saying it took her 30 minutes to vote, "well that's nothing", to which she replied "right but it was exactly 28 minutes longer than it took last time!"
So now the gamble is.....which lines will be longer....the ones BEFORE work or the ones AFTER work? I'm telling anyone I know to head to their polls right before or right after lunch. I've only heard one incident of voter suppression so far, about someone being turned away from a poll in a western suburb because they couldn't speak English.
Remember to look for poll watchers who should be 100 feet from the door of your polling place by law or call 1-866-OUR-VOTE if you witness or encounter a problem voting - this is a non-partisan voter protection organization. (http://www.866ourvote.org/state/)
