The last few years, I have shown up at my polling place to vote when it opens at 7:00am. At most, there were 5-10 people in front of me. Last year I was actually first in line.
This year, however, when I arrived at 7, there were a hundred people in line! It took about an hour to get through and cast my votes.
As much as I don't like waiting in line, I am exceedingly pleased to see that people are voting. Hopefully we'll break a turn-out record.
