I just voted a few minutes ago. I live in a city of 65K, It went really well. It was well organized and quick. There was a line approximately 35 people in front of me when I first got there, you are spaced 6' apart. once I checked in you are escorted to your machine, the machine is sanitized and then instructions given, you vote then print you're ballet and walk it over to a device to enter it. You are shown the number of ballets cast ahead of you (3800) and then you enters your ballet and it tells you you have voted and the number of votes cast changed to 3801. Like I said it was well organized and quick. It took longer for me to drive there than vote. Once I got to the front door, it took about 10 minutes to vote and leave the building. Well Done. How was your experience?
 

I haven't voted yet,plan to Tues morning.My polling place is a local church down the street from my apt building.It opens at 6am,since I'm a 'early morning' person,I doubt I'll have to wait long to vote
 

I was talking to a person that I know at the voting center that is either a volunteer or an employee that helps with the whole voting procedure, I'm not sure which, and ask her if they had been busy today.
Here response was the mornings are terribly busy, typically, but it slows until about 4:30 then gets busy again until we close it down.
Not sure that is what you might experience or not, but saw your posting and thought I would share what I was told.
 
I know someone who is running one of the polling places so I'll be giving my absentee ballot to that person who turn in. Here in Santa Clara County, CA one can turn in their ballot or vote at any polling place in the county. We were all sent absentee ballots that can be mailed or turned in.
 
Well, as I like to say: vote early, vote often. What??!?!?!? :devilish:

My wife and I voted absentee ballot, which is registered to our individual names and tracked.

Mine was very smooth. It did take about 40 minutes from the time I got to the parking lot until I left.
 
I voted by mail weeks ago, and received an e-mail confirmation when my ballot had been received; easy as pie, without long waits in line and potential exposure to the plague!
 
Thank goodness I was able to walk my ballot to the county courthouse building and drop it into the secured ballot box. I definitely would not have voted by mail. The post office has effed up so many deliveries (mail and packages), I don't trust them. Doesn't help that I saw that a mail carrier just dumped Lord only knows how many ballots. They didn't get to where they were supposed to go...I know that.
 
I voted over a week ago, by mail. The voting by mail is so easy, I just don't know why some love standing in long lines to vote.
When I was kid, before election day, my grandfather would take us grandkids to the cemetery. We were supposed to get the names of people, who died during certain dates. Then he voted, and voted, and voted...........................
 
I did not want to vote by mail,or do it early
This morning around 6:20,I strolled down my street to vote at a church on the corner which is my polling station.It opened at 6am,there was a line but it was moving very quickly.I was in&out in 5 min.As I was walking back home, I noticed the line was a bit longer
 
What puzzles me is on a national election of federal employees why is it up to states to regulate voting?
