I tried to vote three times. I went before work and the line was 2 hours, and I had to get to work, so i left. I went to "lunch" at 10 and tried again, but the line was 2.5 hours and I had to get to a doc appointment. At 2:45 when i got off from work, the line was about 45 minutes, so I stood in that with no where to be. The election judge told me they were at 50% for the day so far. The 2004 election only had 30% total! My DH went after work at around 6:45 and it took him less than 5 minutes. They told him they were already at 86% and thought they might get a complete voter turn out (polls closed at 8).
Granted we are in the suburbs of DC so everyone is VERY political.
