Here, they're telling people to vote from 10 am-3 pm because people will be at work.

I got to my polling place at 6:45 am, and only waited about 10 minutes.

(edit: I am among the world's worst typists.)

GO ASAP. GET IT OVER WITH! Because there is no telling how long lines will be today. I went like the first day we had early voting at 7am and I had a line of 20 people in a remote part of town here in Texas. Austin should hit about 90% voter turnout since TEXAS has already hit 49% just in early voting. The numbers will be fantastic no matter who wins.

Yeah, go ASAP. I voted advance last week, and waited three hours, and the line was just as long when I was leaving.

PLUS how many people took today off from work? Seriously, I did and I voted over two weeks ago. XD

Your icon. It hyp-mo-tizes me.

The only thing that matters is that you vote...I don't think normal patterns apply with this election. I know my employer allows up to a 2 hour unpaid break to go vote.

Wow... things are different here, we get a paid break of however long it takes.

I tried to go at 6:15 am but the line was so long and there was no way I was going to make it to work on time so I'm going after work when the line will be long again. But worth it so

I got to my polling place 10 minutes after it opened (7 am) and had to wait about 45 minutes to vote. And there was no sign that the line was slowing when I finally left. I assume it will once people go to work, but ...
