How long did it take you to vote?

[ConstantChange]

Four years ago I thought I'd go early and be in line by 6:45 AM to beat most of the crowd. I probably had 100 people in front of me and it took at least an hour. It sucked.

This year I'm thinking about going around 9:00 AM. Hopefully most people have to be to work by that time and I'll avoid the major rush. I hate waiting in line for an hour to do something that takes about 2 minutes to accomplish.

So, how long did you wait in line to vote?

[86RAG]

I live in a fairly small town, so I'm usually in and out in under 5 minutes! (Yeah I know, that's what she said! :lol:)

[lallend]

Early voting is your friend :)

[bryanZ06]

5 minutes

Early voting FTW.

[NavyC5]

Absentee ballot FTW :hurray:

2 minutes to drop it in the mail

[Sea Six]

Early voting took about 45 minutes due to the crowd. Usually in my precinct I am the only one there, but this year I just couldn't wait any longer to vote to throw the bastard out.

[Omega Man]

My wife and I voted early. took about 10 minuters. THen we went for a nice lunch date.:dance:

[onedef92]

Took about 15 minutes. Our voting precinct is at our church. The line was already out the door at 5:45 a.m. though.

[Shrike6]

One hour, only thing that kept me going was knowing how important it is to throw the bums out.

[Bingo Fuel]

Mail in ballot.
Took less than 4 sips of Crown Royal rocks.

[BuckyThreadkiller]

5 machines, E and I were the only ones there.

[R.Zaragoza]

5 minutes.

[Hoog]

Stopped by to vote early twice last week, but the line was in the 2 1/2 hour range. Got to the church at 6:30 this morning and I was about 40 people back. Took about 30 minutes after the doors opened at 7.

[Ryan Bell]

20 minutes. Early voted (like anyone that's responsible should). ;)

[Superstreet]

Early voted. In and out in 5 minutes.

Should have saved my "I Voted" sticker and went to Hooters yesterday. 20% off. :boobies:

[Bucwheat]

Early voted 20 min.

[Burro (He/Haw)]

Early voted (like anyone that's responsible should)

[Burnt C6]

Early voted friday before last took me about 15 minutes.

[Broken Wind]

I just came back. I stood in line for about 10 min and got back in my car and came home. I'll go back again later. That was the longest line I've ever seen at this polling place. I have a real good feeling about this election.

[vtelvr]

Let's just say I should have left the engine running. In and out in 10mins. Worth every second too.

[DAB]

We'll go vote in about 2 hours. Let the morning rush clear out.

[Fasglas]

5 minutes.

Waited five minutes for my turn to vote.

Two minutes voting.

[Millenium Vette]

No line at 9:15 at my polling place. I was number 605 to vote there.

[Stangkiller]

Voting opened at 7am, we were that at 6:25, we were 10 & 11th in line and were done voting by 7:15.

[Lightfoot]

We asked for some of those stickers and the polling attendant said they didn't get any from the company that prints them this year.

[sasnglass77]

Absentee ballot, 1 minute to fill out and mailed it last week :seasix:

[Joecooool]

45 minutes.

[GentleBen]

Got to the polling place at 0700 (as normal) but Jeebus there was a line out the door and halfway down the side of the school. Instead of the normal 15-minute total it took over 40-minutes to get the ballot, another 2-minutes to fill it out and turn it in.

[jda67gta]

5 minutes last Thursday...

[ConstantChange]

I arrived around 9:00 AM. In 25 minutes I was on the road again.

[Cybercowboy]

We just got back. Decided 10:00 AM sounded like a good time to go. It was absolutely perfect. From the time we left the house to the time we got back here, 20 minutes. The poll worker told me that just 15 minutes earlier they were slammed and they were in a nice lull. As we were leaving cars were streaming into the parking lot. Hit. It. Perfect.

[Vet4jdc]

About 200 people in line....it took me an hour and ten minutes!

[6spdC6]

About 5 minuits.

Mrs. 6spd and I just got back from voting. (11AM) I was # 221 according to the machine. I live in a small town with only about 700 full time people eligible to vote so consider that a decent turnout so far. As the majority of the working people will start showing up to vote after 4PM.

The polls close at 9PM so we should have a good turn out!

[Kevin_73]

Only 5 people in front of me in line. We had a choice of paper or electronic ballot. I chose electronic. Then I realized that there were only two electronic booths, and about 8 for the paper ballots so I had to wait even longer for the electronic machines. :banghead:
I could have been in and out of there in less than 5 minutes if I had chosen paper, but instead it ended up taking almost 12 minutes since I chose electronic. :D

[Burro (He/Haw)]

10 minutes. Took me longer to chat up the girl handing out ballots, who said it was steady, but never swamped.

[sanchez]

90 minutes

[ApexOversteer]

10 minutes, nice coffee cake too...

[Truck Guy]

5 minutes.

So that's what they're calling it now, huh? You kids nowadays...

[Norm]

From the time I signed the register, to the booth, hit the vote buttons, less than a minute.

[Burro (He/Haw)]

Got pics? :D

Man I wish. She had that "I'm expensive" look to her. Nice manicure, expensive haircut, and a health club figure.

[Entropy]

10 minutes. Got there just before 8AM to avoid the early crowd but miss the 9 AM work crowd.

I like voting on election day. Part of the ritual.

Wow. A hot, privileged polling attendant. The ones in my voting disctrict this morning were all senior, volunteer-grade material.

[Cybercowboy]

Same here. Senior citizens every one. Very nice though.

[Luke@tirerack]

I was #375 at my polling place and itonly took about 15 minutes

[onedef92]

Same here. Senior citizens every one. Very nice though.

Yeah. Mine were courteous and respectful, too. Even thanked us for voting.

[8Up]

About an hour, got there at around 11:45, got in my car at 12:45. :seasix:

[erickpl]

The first time through the line it took no time at all.

The second time through, it took about 20 minutes.

The third time through, they got suspicious, and I just said, "I'm him." They let me through after about 10 minutes.

[erickpl]

Seriously though, about 20 minutes in line and voting then out.

[dwjz06]

About 5 minutes.:D:cert:

[DAB]

about 8 minutes. nice long 2 page ballot, chock full of propositions i had to read thru. No to all except one. bunch of unopposed races with Ds only. they didn't get my vote.

[Iron Chef]

3 minutes. :seasix:

[ZipZap]

Stood in line before work for 45 minutes, and had to bail out due to an appointment. I'll go back after work.

There is a VA constitutional amendment to change the eminent domain laws to prohibit providing the taken land to a private entity. I'm guessing a lot of folks are seeing these few hundred words for the first time:slap::kick:

[m and t's77]

Five minutes or so for the both of us.Took us longer talking to our sons cub scout leader(who was manning the checkout table) about this weeks meeting details and the food drive.
:patriot:

[fartleker]

about 8 minutes. nice long 2 page ballot, chock full of propositions i had to read thru. No to all except one. bunch of unopposed races with Ds only. they didn't get my vote.

And I'm guessing all of the bonds and crap that were on our ballot will pass. Everyone loves to spend money.

Was in line before they opened, as that was the best time for my wife. Waited for about 15 minutes.

[lspencer534]

Voted about an hour ago. 5 minutes tops, most of which was spent waiting for the really old peeps to verify my registration and program my electronic voting card.

[Broken Wind]

Been in line for 45 min. Prob another 30 to the booth.

[Doug28450]

Been in line for 45 min. Prob another 30 to the booth.

Claim you are disenfranchised.

[theanswriz42]

I voted on Wednesday and was in and out in about 15 minutes.

[Doug28450]

program my electronic voting card.

Did they at least tell you who they programmed the card to vote for?

[GS Ragtop]

Arrived at my precinct's polling place about 3:00 PM and was second in line. Total time it took to vote couldn't have been much more than 10 minutes. :seasix:

[Broken Wind]

Va accepts CHP as ID. Love it!

[beadist]

@ 5 minutes :seasix:

[Jeff '79]

In and out as fast as I could fill the papers out...No line at all..:seasix:
I voted against corporate greed !

[LisaJohn]

1 hour 10 minutes

[Skia]

In and out as fast as I could fill the papers out...No line at all..:seasix:
I voted against corporate greed !So you voted for socialism??

[Broken Wind]

Finished in 1:25. Every minute was a privilege.

[yell01]

Under 15 minutes. Got there at about 8:40. 10 deep for the electronic machines and only 1 person in front of the wife and I for paper. By the time I walked to the line that one person had gone and two others opened up. I was done and the one of the 3 electronic lines had moved by one person. I don't get why people would wait in line just for that.

[SteelCityBlue]

5 min. Redistricting screwed a lot of people up and had to go to another site. A lOT of pissed off people.

[78SA]

Few minutes.

[09CTSV]

Walked in, voted and left. Took less than 5 minutes. No one in line in front of me and only one other person came in behind me. Right as I was leaving the after work rush hit, must have been 20 cars pull in.

[OddBall]

5 minutes.

with it taking so little time, I should go back and vote a few more times.

[Marc]

Wife and I were the only ones there at 5 PM, took 2 minutes.

[VatorMan]

10 minutes. Half was going through registration.

[Poog]

From the time I left my vehicle to the time I returned: 24:14.

[ZipZap]

90 minutes door-to-door. Longest ever. I'm betting VA will show a huge turnout.

[Me2]

10 minutes this past Saturday.

[CBonsall]
