It took Madam and I over an hour and we voted two weeks ago. Of course we live in Georgia with a Republican SecSta and Governor who want it make it as difficult as possible for those “other folk” to vote. Glad to see you had an easy time of it.
Took me almost an hour, 45 minutes in line, 15 minutes in the booth. 12 CA propositions, a whopping 23 San Francisco propositions, and I was prepared. When I got out, the line had tripled in length.
But… I remember fondly the lever machines in Texas, with the BIG Democrat “straight ticket” lever and the little republican lever taped over.
i would have moved quicker but we have got to get younger people to man the polls. sigh. the lady taking my name seemed a bit confused and was slower than molasses in january. other than that- 15 minutes tops. however, the dreaded diebolds are a comin’- $70,000 a piece- and my district had one. it wasn’t set up- but it was there. luckily for this election anyway- we had our levers.

No line. Write-in Ron Paul. It’s nice that we get to choose our rulers.
