(1,587 posts)440. Half Hour Wait @ 0700
Here in the People's Republic of Falls Church, VA
There were "issues" with the "electronic check in" so the poll workers had to go off of printouts to check voters in.
Had a choice of paper "fill in the bubble" ballot or black box touchscreen machines.
You can guess what I opted for.
