Well, I just had an excellent voting experience -- at my polling place, it usually takes me about one minute to vote, due to pretty low turnout. Today, it took 20 minutes! There were lots of people there, and the poll workers did some smart things to move the line along (the guy manning the optical scan machine handed out markers for people to mark their ballots in other areas, which relieved the bottleneck of the 10 carrels). I only saw one voter look at the line and decide to come back later. Everyone seemed cheerful. Whatever the outcome, I think this election has been good for our democracy.
