I went around 11am. The wait was around 15 minutes. The church had coffee, donuts & hot dogs for sale.

At 3 p.m. I waited 5 MINUTES - which confirmed for me how ridiculous it was for all those folks to stand in 5 and 6 hour lines the last two weeks. Every day when I would see those stories on the news I would think, what idiots.

I had to go to two voting centers because we found out we had to vote at a different center since we moved this year. Both locations had no wait!

I went at 6:38 am because I am handicapped and did not want to attempt to stand in line for too long.

Doors opened at 7 am. I was the 9th person to vote.

Then I went to Starbuck's and got my free coffee at the drive-thru window!

My husband and I waited about 40 minutes at 10 am, and when we left the line was longer than when we started.

I wish they could have voted!
They didn't have the kids' ballots here. Nor did I get any free food I keep hearing about!! What gives? I feel cheated.
