POLL: How long did you have to wait in line to vote?

I just voted at 3:15 and didnt wait much at all. There was an elderly gentleman in front of me at sign in, and after he finished signing in I signed in, went to the open booth, voted and left.

Although I could see how the lines could be very long; the people behind the tables at sign in are all older than dirt and take their sweet old time flipping the pages, finding your name, etc.
 
took over 30 minutes to wait in line, but it was mostly due to a weird fluke where the L-R group of names all decided to show up at once. there was no one at all in the S-Z line for the last 10 minutes i was there.
 
About an hour. My precinct got one less machine than usual, and wouldn't you know it, another one of the others broke this morning. Slowed things down considerably.
 
Is Oregon the only state that does 100% mail in ballots? I sat in my kitchen sipping a Full Sail while I filled mine out last night. Could have mailed it in a couple weeks ago but I procrastinated. Anyway, swung by the county office and dropped it off. Took about 11 seconds.
 
Didn't have to wait at all. Walked in, signed, voted, and left. It took longer to drive there then it did to vote.
 
No wait. Guy looked up my ID, got access code, fiddled around with machine, hit 'CAST VOTE'.

The lady at the entrance said 60% of the registered voters ( ~1700 total for that location ) had already voted.

 
Walked in at 7:30 am. No line for the paper ballots, 8-9 people line for electronic ballot (only one machine compared to 10-12 poll booths for paper ballots). Took a paper ballot, walked into the booth next to my wife, and canceled someone vote for BHO (I'm in Hawaii, my guy is NOT going to win Hawaii).

In and out in 5 minutes...
 
CNN reports some people are receiving text msg on their cell phone telling them to vote tomorrow if they're Obama supporters... disgusting.

that is sick. Everyone knows Obama supporters were supposed to vote Thursday.

That is actually quite humorous.
 
No wait. The whole process took about 10 minutes, and the only reason it took that long was because I voted in a bunch of judicial elections that most people would never bother with.

I have mixed feelings about voting on judicial candidates (we vote to keep or get rid of current judges). On one hand I know nothing about the judges in question and have no basis for judging their performance and think it is kind of dumb to vote on something I know nothing about. On the other hand, my guess is that the only folks who would be inspired to vote for/against the judges are folks who lost a case before a specific judge and have an axe to grind so maybe by voting yes I can keep honest judges on the bench in the face of losers out for revenge.
