I voted today. Share your in person early voting experience...
I usually vote in person but early at a library polling place that is open until right before election day.

Until today, I had never had to wait in line, usually I am interupting their reading time.

However, today it was a madhouse-they had you take numbers, and had gotten up to a thousand by the time I got my ballot. It was three hours until closing, it took me an hour to get my ballot and some people were waiting up to three or more hours.

This is going to be an 80% in Arizona at least and I am NOT surprised the poll is showing them so close because it looked like there was a lot of support for both candidates there.
Yay democracy!

1. A very easy time dropping off paper ballots..
I dropped off our ballots earlier this week at the local DMV office. Stuffed them into a satchel and that was it.

A day later I checked online to verify that they were received at the main office. They were received and processed. That's when I finally exhaled. You just never know - but I feel good to have it all done.
