58. I went to vote today but the line was longer than I have ever seen

Tue Oct 20, 2020, 11:59 PM

Oct 2020

I plan to go back earlier in the day tomorrow with my husband. Waiting in line is boring enough, doing it by myself is worse. If the two places we normally do early voting are both slammed with big numbers of people, we might just take a drive across the county to the most rural voting location. Usually the voting totals at that location are a few hundred when the other locations are thousands.
