Thanks, Jiro! :) I just got back from voting. To answer the OPs question (as also mentioned by Liza), I'd wait forever if it meant putting Obama in the White House. :D

I ran into one of my friends who is helping at the polls. He told me this:

The wait is approximately 15-30 minutes with 2 polling machines and the most people we've so far in this town waiting..... is 40 people in line! :giggle:

This is slightly off-topic, but Byrdie's post reminded me of what happened back in 1988 when I voted for the very first time. At the polling place (which happened to be the first elementary school I ever attended), I saw my kindergarten teacher (she served as a poll volunteer) who immediately recognized me. (Don't ask me how, but she did.) She introduced herself, asked how I was and gave me her contact information. I thought that was so awesome, especially since it had been almost 15 years since I first set foot in that elementary school. So many good memories of kindergarten through 2nd grade came flooding back and it was as if I were a child again. :)
 
I think I ended up waiting about 30-40 minutes. Not bad at all. :)

Went to the poll early this morning before work...LONG LINE! I waited in line but time started running out and I needed to get dressed for work so I left. Waited like 15 mins before I gave up. After work, I went straight to the polls again...NO LINE!!! Took me like 5 minutes to vote! Seems like people who went early waited longer. Not bad! I was expecting to wait for at least an hour. Soon, I will leave agian to interview a new daycare and then huddle up to wait for the election results. I hope I will have fingers left after tonight! :laugh2:
 
This morning I drove some folk to the polls. They waited in line for over three hours. Hmmmm, don't tell me that we cannot handle the voting needs today!!!:shock:
 
It only took me 10 mins tops to wait in the line which was not too bad. :)
 
I live in 4th largest city of usa and I went in and out from voting poll without line up at 1:30 pm today.

Yes they did, but I didn't make that request. The polling volunteer who helped me insisted. However, from what she told me, the lines weren't that long to begin with.

ah... that's what I thought so. They tend to do that for people with disability. Boy, don't you love the perks it comes with? :laugh2: I had some special treatment too.
