Default How Long Will You Wait To Vote?

I get off work tomorrow at 2:30pm. I have in the trunk of my car a book and a lawn chair. If I gotta wait till 7 or 8pm I am waitin. Funny thing is I know some people who say they will not vote if they gotta wait over 2 hours.

i've never had to wait. i hope to go at mid-day whilst everyone is still at work.
but i'll wait as long as it takes. not that it matters, the old fart and girl wonder will most likely win arkansas.

Wait? No waiting in the Empire State, but the "new" voting machines start next year.....the lines will be long with people trying to figure them out. It's gonna scare folks into absentee ballots for sure.

Wow, if I have to wait 15 mins that would be long. Can I ask what state you reside?
