Default How long are your poll lines?

Today is an historic day!

It will be a day of FIRST: our first black President or our first female Vice President. But one of the most reported events of the day with be the length of the poll lines and the poor voters who are waitng in them.

So, how long are your poll lines today?

My wife got to the polls at 7:45 and was finished before 8:30. BTW we are back to paper ballots here in Florida which should prevent many of the shenanigans we saw back in 2004.

Remember... If you are a Democrat, vote today early & often, if you are a Republican, vote tomorrow.

50 minutes for me. When I left at 7:50, there was no line. They said 53% of my county voted early.

Thumbs up Re: How long are your poll lines?

No matter what happens, it will all be over tonight! I will wake up in the morning and do what I have to do. CNN the AP and all can spread all the BS they want. Your life is what you make it if you have control and do what you do best. If you worry about what you don't have or wish you could have,... you will just be wasting your time.


P.S. I think Palin is hot!

I kept driving by the early voting office seeing lines out the door. I walked in, went straight to the booth and out without any line.

Sorry Joe, I remembered to vote today...early and often.

Are they shaped like BINGO Cards? Hope so!

I went just before lunch and was out the door in 25 min. But I live in the country.

TN has always been Democratic, it didn't look that way at lunch!
We will see soon, I guess.

Hope this BB gets back to normal then!

I had to sign a sworn statement that I have not already voted nor would I try to vote more than once. Anyone else done this?

I don't understand what all these other posts are about, but I can tell you my poll line is 50' - 20# test. I use a hand crank reel because it more sensitive to the touch. I caught a couple of...

Oh, my wife just explained to me...so, nevermind.

Have a nice day
