Anyone vote yesterday and have long wait time? (Bedford, Euless: YMCA, school)

[loves2read]

I was at location that had 3 precincts voting--
On the GOP side there was one electronic ballot matching and maybe 6 stations for the written ballot--supervisor opened another 1 while I was waiting in line more than 20 min to use the electronic machine--don't know if the Democratic side had the same number or fewer since there were fewer people voting on that side...
There were MANY people waiting in the Republican primary section to use electronic matching who decided after 10+ min to take a paper ballot...

Had friend who voted in different location /different precinct---
She said hers served 6 precincts and had no electronic ballot machines
She went about 1pm and had no wait

Lot of people were confused because most of the precinct voting locations were changed as well...
Normally we early vote at our sub courthouse off Hwy 26 but had been out of town and had to vote yesterday

Was just glad it was not raining and I didn't have to wait outside when I got there...but it still took me about 30-40 min I think...longest I have every had to wait to vote
So can't imagine waiting over 2 hrs like I have read some people have had to do in prior national or primary elections in various locations---not just Tarrant county

Poor parking arrangement as well for all the traffic at the location I had to use...
I know sometimes there isn't lot of choice maybe but when the poll workers were asked why there were so few electronic machines they had no answer---they don't make that decision---election commission of Tarrant County does apparently...

Voted at the Bedford YMCA at 7:50 yesterday. Both parties, 3 precincts. No line, maybe a half a dozen people there. My wife voted at 5:00 and said there were 3 or 4 in line for each party.

We used to live in Brookwood Hillls and voted there or at Spring Garden--guess they didn't use the school this year
They didn't use Lakewood in Euless either and that has been long time site...

Did you use electric or paper ballot?

I've lived here for 15 years and we've always voted at Bedford Heights or the YMCA. The only exception was the massive turnout primary in 2008 and they moved it to the Boys Ranch that year.

I used a paper ballot. They had one electronic machine on each side.
