I JUST VOTED! in Wilson County, Tennessee
Since I no Longer drive I called the County HQ who sent a very nice older lady out to pick me up.
Early voting was only at one location, the county registration office. About 150 people in line.
I was told that was average line from open to close every day.

I was told to go to the front of the line and tell the greeter that being disabled I could not stand up very long.
I was immediately seated and greeter brought me my paperwork to fill out, then got me to a machine in less than
5 minutes.

* ES&S iVotronic machines set up, all appeared to be in use. No flip apparent.
I commented to attendant that I was happy that with the new TN Voters Confidence Act It would be the last time
I voted on the damned things.

I was home door to door in about 45 minutes.

4. Good for you! I drive people to vote in every election and
the one thing that is really different this time are the huge smiles when people come out the door after they've voted. :hi:
