Personally I waited 90 minutes and got there at 6:40am. Not too shabby I guess.. Until I got out of the booth and noticed only about 25 people outside.

I guess if you voted early just post your wait time

I voted early and walked right in. There was no wait. I know some people who voted near Northlake Mall the other day and waited in line 3.5 hours! hahaha

One thing I find really sad is that there are people on TV who said it is their first time voting because this election is so important and they want their voice heard. These are adults, not kids who just turned 18 who are saying this. I think every election is important and I have voted every election since I turned 18. Why would you not vote in prior elections? Apathy? Ignorance? What gives?
