How long did you wait in line to vote?

This is nothing about who you voted for, just how long you were in line.

Just mention "Election Day" or "Early Voting", and how long.

Election Day - 25 minutes, all indoors, from leaving my car to getting back in my car.

Early voting
We went twice and left because the lines were so long.
Third time ......One hour from parking the car to getting back in the car.

Election Day - 20 minute at 9:05am. I tried at 6:15 but it was insane so I went home. It was so crazy that my son's bus got into an accident (he hadn't gotten on yet) so I walked back the second time.

1 hour and 20 minutes during Early Voting.

(I felt compelled to vote on my birthday otherwise I might not have waited so long.)

I think the early morning times were insane because people wanted to go before work.
I'll go mid to late morning and see how it is

Yeah, my wife went before it opened. The lines were pretty long. I saw FB posts at my polling site around 7, and the lines were really long. I went around 8:30 and almost no lines. The latest FB posts are saying almost no lines at most of the polling places.

I was surprised as so many people are working remotely now. I usually go early with no issue.

I'm glad I went home though, my kid's bus hit a car (it was so crazy) so things were a bit crazier here than usual this am.

I had planned on voting early, but after hearing how long the lines were, scrapped that plan and went today. 20 minutes total - Got there a few minutes after 8 and was out the door by 8:25.

I think it’s because people have meetings and/or deal with remote kids as well. So it’s probably easier for them to do it before the hectic day starts.

I’m glad your son is ok and wasn’t on the bus. Sounds like a nutty morning!

Re: How long did you wait in line to vote?

Went around 11:15 this morning.

10 minutes in line to get in and sign in
10 minutes to get ballot, fill it out and wait to scan it into the machine.

20 minutes total from out of the car to back in the car.

Side note, it was a lot quicker when it was the old school ballot machines... with this system you have to wait to get your ballot, then wait again to feed it into the machine.
Double the lines.

11:00 am
45 min but scanner was down and we had to fold our ballots and put them in a locked box beneath the scanner. Election board was coming to fix it and scan them in later. Not feeling very confident
