How long were the lines at your voting site? - RgrF - 11-07-2012
I voted early, wife at 5:30 tonight at our LA area polling place, she was in and out in two minutes.

Lines were short. It took 18 minutes, but only because the poll workers were inefficient. I could have had us out in half that time, but they were really not getting much through put. We had maybe 12 machines and only 2-5 would be used because they were so slow getting people checked in to vote.

My local poll people seemed to be largely distracted with their cell phones. The polling was in a boys and girls club corridor with people passing through. No lights and no police presence outside-- had to lock up my bike by feel, and you didn't even know there was voting going on there from outside. A constant stream of people showing up whose polling place had been moved to a school a 1/2 block east. Thoroughly ghetto.

I went to the wrong place first... three precincts were in it and none of them mine. Two were no wait and one had a line of 20 or more people...
My proper poll had two precincts. No waits at either.

Short line for early voting a few days ago here in suburban GA. But in Fulton County, GA (Atlanta) there were reports of 5-6 hr lines and machine problems and people being told to go elsewhere to vote.

Yeah, I vote in Fulton county and while mine was just inefficient, Fulton always manages to set a really low standard for organization and follow through. The elections director had to resign because of I think two DUI charges pending against him and the interim lady looks like she doesn't really have a clue what is going on. Not a well oiled machine by any means.
