2Hrs 50 Minutes to early vote in Franklin Co OH and almost everyone holding a Dem Sample Ballot!
I went just after 10 am this morning thinking it was after morning rush and before lunch rush. It was incredible how many people remained in this line. I only saw one elderly gentleman leave. It was like a amusement park ride where you think you don't have far to go then you turn a corner and see more snaking around. I'm just glad I didn't have my kids whose patience might have been tested.

:patriot: 2 more votes for Obama!

8. Blueish-purple
Dem city government, mixed county government. Lots of Reeps due to the nature of the economy here, but lots of Dems too.

2. Love these stories. We love our all-vote-by-mail system here, but
we do sort of miss out on the drama and the camaraderie of going to the polls.

6. The bummer is my precinct doesn't have long lines on election day
It's not fair but the governor, OSU & Capital U president , and many of titans of business live here but alas I will be serving as an election observer so I had to vote early.

14. Thanks for the report!
We had maybe a 5 minute wait last Wednesday evening at Vet's Memorial. We got there at 6:30 and there were still a good amount of people voting. Every row of booths and every table had someone voting.
