Just out of curiosity, how long did you have to wait to vote?
I keep reading about the long lines, I was in and out of the polling place in about 5 minutes
How about you?

It took 2 hours this AM
I had no wait, but I voted early.
45 minutes---from 10:15 to 11:00 this morning. I've never EVER had to wait before, and I've lived here almost 20 years. I was told that the wait had been at least that long from the moment the polls opened throughout the day. I am impressed by rural America today!
One hour here at a "supposedly" off-time during the day. Have to say....EVERY polling place I've driven by today has had lines out the building and down the street. Makes me proud to be an American! Everybody go out and VOTE today!
One hour and I have never waited before.
About 15 minutes. Not many poll workers. A friend had no wait at another polling place.
5 1/2 hours on Friday during early voting period. This is the first time it has been done in Georgia.

I commend your fortitude, I know I would have given up long before 5 1/2 hours.
15 minutes ... and was surprised that as large a section of voters that our polling place handles, we only had 4 workers and 7 machines.
I was going to wait until this evening to go with my husband, but on my trip out for groceries at 4:00, I saw that there was no line down Main Street.
In and out in no time flat but there was a substantial line for residents voting for the first time today.
I would be interested to know by State
how many were asked at the poll for identification? Anyone?

We were not asked, but I wish that you were required to prove who you were.
Chill ...
I wasn't asked but I am curious about something (tho I may be sorry I asked on this forum) ... would anybody here be offended or feel intimidated if they were asked for identification? I think I know how BigWI feels, and I know it wouldn't bother me (anymore than asking for my i.d. when I use a credit card) but obviously some voters find it bothersome.

2:00 PM this afternoon... in and out... except the wife screwed up and voted for too many people... so that took an additional 10 minutes... managed to sneak past the television cameras that were set up outside to interview voters.
Was not asked for ID.

5 minutes
no id required. I could have voted as my neighbor if I knew their name and address.

I would not have been offended...
As a matter of fact, with the voter-fraud going on I think I'm offended I was not!
At least get a screen name or two

You know what "they" say ... vote early and vote often.

No wait for me either.
I was asked to show my registration card. By a man that knows me very well. My wife had gone through the same line an hour earlier and he did not ask her for any I.D. at all. I am not sure what that means. But i will be keeping an eye on him!!!

Just down the road from BigWI...took me 15 minutes at 10:00am.
No time at all .... voted absentee last week.
