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.
