I was about to post the same thing. There were about 10 people in front of me at 11am. It took a grand total of 10 minutes from getting out of my vehicle until I got back in to leave.
The early voting wait times I was hearing from neighbors was 2-3 hours.
Our country is populated by lemmings...

I didn't TD you but the lemming comment is unnecessary.

I thought “lemmings” was a good way to put it. How else would you describe people standing in lines for hours to avoid potential wait times today, simply because a TV/radio personality told them to?

I figured less people would go in the morning when I saw the temp was 30.
I drive by the voting place on my way home. I'll know then if I made the right decision.

GOODONYA' MATE !
Or it could be like how I feel MY luck is . . .
2 lines at the grocery store.
I pick the left one - the right one ROCKET SHIPS to where I would have been in line & I move up one person.
I pick the right one - the opposite happens.
I know, I know - your answer is the grocery delivery service.
Next vote - less people vote early & the election day lines are yugggggggge.

It really depends on where the polling places are located, population, etc. You might live in a county where there are dozens of sites and a population of a few thousand. Other places are the opposite.
I was able to early vote near my office. No wait. The closest place to my home had a line of 50+ people.
I once waited 3+ hours one election day because there was one polling place with maybe 5 booths per 50K people. Lines around the block.

only 2 options were vote before or after.
50/50 shot.
Took me about 45mins. 2 of my coworkers are going after work. I hope they have an easier time.

That’s a good reason. However, there were 3 options. Personally, if I had to work all day today I would have voted absentee and not stood in any line.

Even if I had to do it with a qtip.
I'm happy everyone is out voting. May be inconvenient but the participation is fantastic.

Ditto. It was 5 minutes max. In and out. I’d prepared for waiting hours. Hah! Best voting day ever. More time to Tnet!
