A "busy" day at our polling place is usually a 2 or 3 minute wait.
Today I had about a 90 second wait. Signed my sheet, took my ballot,
and took about 15 minutes to carefully and thoughtfully fill it out,
referencing my cheat sheet and the Independent, and then I handed it
in. There was a steady stream of people going in and out, but no real
lines. It was hard to tell how busy they really were, I didn't look
at how many voters they'd had at 7:45amish.
