How was voting where you are?

L got there at 6:20 (polls in MD don't open till 7) and was out by 7:20. She said that the people at the beginning of the line got there at 5:40.

I got there with the boys at 7:10. The plan was for L to take them home once she voted, but I had bought them girl scout cookies from the girls selling cookies to ppl in line and they were happy to wait. Plus, they wanted to vote and get a sticker. So, she waited again with us.  It took exactly one hour. Each kid pushed a button on the computer and got their sticker. They were thrilled.

We took the boys home, cleaned up the kitchen, talked with our nanny, and then went to Panera for breakfast - just the 2 of us. I got to work an hour late and have no motivation to work...I just want to know the results.

Re: How was voting where you are?

  • Oh goodness, I couldn't imagine. We are really lucky here in Oregon, it is ALL mailed ballots, so I filled my own Octover 16th, and dropped it in the mail it makes it super easy.

  • wow - thats a long wait :( but i might have done it for some girl scout cookies!

    Our polling locations open at 6am so I was there at 6:15 and out by 6:40ish. Andrea's location was even quicker...she was in at 6, out by 6:15. 

    i've heard rumor of worse places though, and i'm sure it'll be bad today after work.

  • I haven't gone yet. Trav wanted to go together when we get home tonight. I'm not looking forward to it... I've heard some long line horror stories. I'm thinking we'll leave as soon as we get home, with a bottle of water and some granola bars just in case!

    But I don't care how long I have to wait, I'm getting my vote heard!!  Yes

  • It wasn't too bad on our side of the beltway :). We got there shortly before the polls opened at 7, and were out by 8:30. We were going to be late to work anyway, so we stopped by Dunkin' Donuts for a bagel and coffee before heading to work.

    I think it's neat that your boys wanted to be involved-- good for you for raising little future voters!!

  • I went on my lunch break (planning on it taking a little bit longer then an hour) I got in at 11:10 and was out by 11:30. T is going around 2pm today and I doubt it will be too busy. I think after work tonight the wait will be 100 times worse...
  • took about an hour. i arrived at 7. tonight will be crazy.
  • i voted absentee about a month ago, and c sent hers in a couple of weeks ago. Big Smile

    i've heard it hasn't been too bad so far today, but the lines for early voting were crazy here. everyone i've talked to went really early, though. i'm not sure how it'll be later.

  • I had to leave for work before the polls opened, so I went when I got home between 3:30 and 4.  I was in and out in 5 minutes!

  • I only waited for 15 minutes. Of course, that is probably because I was in line at 6:00 am!
