For me, I live in Phoenix, which is in Maricopa county, Arizona
I arrived this morning a 6am, when the polls opened, and there were already about 100 people in line. When i pulled into the polling place (it was a small church) parking was difficult, and I did not see any Trump or Clinton signs. There were alot of John McCain signs all over the place.
I voted for Trump
I voted for Joe Arpaio for Sheriff
I voted for the Green party candidate for Senator
I voted yes in Legalizing pot
I voted NO for increasing taxes for education (they were asking for $144 million I think)
I was required to show ID (Im glad) I had to E-sign to get my ballot, and then put my ballot in the electronic slot to be counted
I voted at 9:23am this morning at a local elementary school. I parked right up front. Was greeted in the parking lot by someone who handed me a republican nominees handout and started to tell me about why I should choose to vote republican. Then a man handed me a democrat nominees handout and said " vote however you feel". I walked inside the gym and went straight to the registration desk, got my form, went to a voting station, marked my choices and then put my ballot in the machine.
We received our ballots and 190+ page voter "pamphlet" a couple of weeks ago. We spent about an hour at the dining table last night going through said pamphlet and casting our votes. He dropped the ballots off at the box on the way into the office this morning.
I definitely do not miss having to go to a physical polling location.
Brooklyn, was at the line a little before 6am, already a line forming of about 50 people, within ten min there were already 50 people behind me. A small church promptly opens at 6am, we had to go down to the basement. I already knew my district #(desk) but for some reason the line at my table was taking forever. A couple of people were cursing out other poll workers on other desks, because they were sent the wrong way? Our poll workers didn't know the difference between left and right, they had A-M and N-P voter rolls mixed up, instead of just switching seats they told people you are on the wrong side . I had my registration card and I signed with my state ID, got a ballot, picked two senators by mistake so the scanner rejected my ballot. Had to go back pushed my way to the front of the desk to get a new ballot in which the poll worker had to check my name again and ripped up my old ballot. Took about 30 min, should have taken 25 without the mistake.

I voted absentee yesterday because of work and my job.
I voted for Trump/Pence, and the other locals (mainly I vote Republican), and voted for a 1/2 cent tax increase for our roads and infrastructure improvements
Took about 45-50 minutes, people in line were nice, most people were for Trump (I live in SC).
First voter at 8 A.M. Voted for Gary Johnson, A Constitution Party candidate for Federal House of Representatives & a Republican for State House. There were probably 10 people in line behind me.
I voted at 7am. There was a line of about 30-40 people. I had to wait about 15-20 minutes. I took my kid with me because she wanted to "vote" for a woman to be president. We voted for Hillary Clinton. I voted Green for our senate race as I don't like either Portman nor Strickland. We had a lot of local elections and issues on the ballot.
My daughter drove down from college as she has a 4 hour break between classes today. Got to the Knights of Columbus hall. 5th and 6th in line. I was voter #99. In and out in about 8 minutes tops.
Daughter got back in her car and went back to school. First time voter, she was so proud.
