Leave plenty of time to vote!
I left for the polls this morning at 6:03 a.m., jogging the four blocks to my precinct station. I expected to be among the first 10 or 20 voters.
Wrong. There were well over a hundred people in line ahead of me, and it took over an hour to get to the front and vote.
So leave lots of time. If possible, vote mid-morning or mid-afternoon.
Edited to add: I passed three other precincts on my travels this morning and all of them had lines out the door all the way to the street. And I don't live in a battleground state. This is a Democratic neighborhood in a very Republican state, and I've never seen a heavier turnout. Lots of young voters, too.
