2018 - I just voted

Burke, no wait

3 scanners, plenty of tables for filling in the ballot and 5 check in stations. One bored poll observer. 3 Democrats outside handing out ballots and 1 dour Repub having a sad.

I was voter #180 on one of the 3 scanners.

PS. I do a similar post after each election, but can only find a few recent ones:

It was as cold and as rainy in Alexandria as it was in Burke. I voted at about 8:15. Went right on through, but there were a lot of campaign (not poll) workers outside the polling place, the dreary weather notwithstanding.

Polls are open. If you think your vote doesn’t count, remember that control of the Virginia legislature came down to a tied race resolved by pulling a name out of a bowl
