Barbara and I went to our polling place today, arriving about 9:45 AM. I took us almost 2 hours to get to the voting booth. As you can see in the above photo, the place was jam-packed and the photo only shows half the crowd. There were several hundred people in line. It took us an hour to get to the the registration point and then about another hour to get to the voting booth. There were only 4 voting stations in the precinct. Way too few for the crowd. We talked to several people while in line and Barbara was smart and brought along a book to read. One person even brought her own lawn chair.
However, the wait was worth to vote in a country where your vote really means something.
