I have been voting at the same polling place for the last twenty four years, and this is the first time I have ever seen a line outside of the building.
Matter of fact, I have always been able to walk in, go right to the table and sign in, and vote with no waiting in line.

Obviously this has to do with Trump running for office.
There has never, ever been a line at my polling place.
Even when Hillary was running against Obama in their primary years ago, there was no line, so it sure isn't Hillary causing these lines outside polling places.

Bob.

years ago, people remembered white water and all her antics, and Hillary was not liked much back then.
Not even when her husband was president. Now our colleges turns our kids into Dems...so...

I despise her worse then any other politician, except Cruz. He is in line for firsts place.

Trump is probably bringing out people from both perspectives.

But then you look at the rallies... Trump was drawing big time.

HRC drew low numbers until she got help from the entertainment community. On her own, she was drawing very little.

Same in my polling place. I've always just walked right in, no waiting.

This time, a line out into the hallway, lined up on both sides IN the hallway, and down a second hallway.

I heard from people who vote in Chicago that some of them waited 90 minutes or more last night.

There has always been a long line where I vote, which is why I voter early this time.

Bob, are you posting 'the best of Bob'?


Tell us your experience if you voted today. How are the lines?


I direct your attention to the last Presidential election. On November 6, 2012, you wrote:


"My polling place is just down the street from my house, and in the twenty years I have been voting there, this is the first time there was ever a line of people waiting to vote.
It was out the door.
Usually I walk in, get my ballot, vote, and scram out the door.
Today I waited about fifteen minutes to get in the door.
If this is representative of the rest of the country, this election could be a record setter.

Bob."


Perhaps it slipped your mind.

Anyone in line when the polls close will be allowed to vote.
