I'm wondering what the lines are like during the early voting process. In particular, has anyone voted at the library on Colonial in East Orlando? What are the best times to go?

thats where I went. anywhere from 3 pm to close has been around 2 hours for the whole process. and its mostly an obama line cause most of us are UCF people running over to vote, so if you're repub you may be annoyed by college antics and banter that may be considered immature.

After the line was over they tried to tell me I was still registered in Pinellas County even though I fixed any problems months ago. I had to direct them myself where to go so they could find my orange county registration.

Go early in the morning if you can when most are going to work. if you wait till lunch you'll have all the lunch crowd. hope that helped some

Be prepared to deal with some crap if you go to this location at Dr. Phillips:

I voted in that particular location on Friday it took my wife, friends(5), and I about 45 minutes. There were Mccain and Obama supporters wearing t-shirts and so on...poll workers were very professional and courteous.

I would have been happy to tell the other side of the story, why weren't any other witnesses interview?

Well we went this morning at 8:30 a.m. Parking was jammed pack and had to walk quite aways where the line formed along the sidewalk. We waited 1 1/2 hours to get to the registration desk. The process in total took 2 hours. I wonder if voting on Nov. 4th will be better because all the people doing early voting?!?!

I was thinking the same thing. Plus all the regular polling places will be open. That is why I am waiting until Tuesday.

I think it is awesome that all of you waited so long to vote. That shows such dedication.
