I voted yesterday.

Went to the town municipal building where the early polling site was.

Since I already had a mail-in ballot, I didn't have to wait in line, but went straight to the designated desk and dropped it into the sealed box.

Today, we got the news that the Board of Elections in my county (we have 17 designated early-voting sites*) has extended the early voting hours for each day by 1 hour (at closing time).
Must be massive turnout all around for them to do that.

One of the poll workers told me they had as of Tuesday afternoon over 3000 live in-person voters (not to mention numerous mail-in voters)

(* In addition, there's the Board of Elections county office itself, for mail-in ballots only)

The more people who vote early, the less hassle I'll have to deal with come November 3, when I'm scheduled to work a district polling place.
