There were 4 people in line which is the most I've seen. I feel so bad for and proud of those that have to deal with long lines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649975 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 18:21:22 +0000 IRunForFun 2649975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None at all. I went mid-afternoon and there was only 1 person there voting at the same time I was. I was 434 for the day. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. But no stickers!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649973 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 18:17:53 +0000 codeitall 2649973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Took an early lunch, only 2 other people in line. No campaigners/protesters or any voting problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649972 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 18:17:33 +0000 PinkElephant 2649972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I live in NYC and went around 8 am - I expected it to be awful, but somehow I lucked out. I knew my electoral district, so I didn't have to wait in the "main" line to find out, then there just happened to be no one waiting at the table for my district. And since I had my own pen, I didn't need to wait for a voting booth - just did my ballot, scanned it, and was on my way. Really a pleasant surprise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649966 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 18:06:14 +0000 ocean81 2649966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This morning the line was insane, but it surprisingly wasn't about a half hour ago! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649965 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 18:04:21 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2649965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I did read that a precinct location across the street was using SHARPIES and the machine couldn't read the ballots and they had to be redone.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649956 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 17:50:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 2649956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fancyfunction: no stickers at my location either. Bummer. </p> <p>@Mrs. Pen: this was my first time voting not in a major city (NYC and Boston). Was very pleased with how cordial it was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649941 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 17:22:14 +0000 Mrsbells 2649941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really i went in super early. I was pulled out of the line briefly because one of the workers didnt understand when I explained how my drivers license didnt have my most current address and thats why I had brought my passport along. That was cleared up quickly and I was able to vote </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649939 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 17:16:47 +0000 fancyfunction 2649939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None. Got there at 2:35 - out by 2:38 :) No stickers though - I've never gotten one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649936 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 17:06:10 +0000 Anya 2649936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't but a couple of guys in the line next to me were wearing campaign hats and a shirt and asked by the poll workers to remove them- they refused. They were pulled out of line and the person was trying to explain how they weren't allowed to wear that stuff within 75ft and they weren't having it. One guy kept trying to sneak back in line. I finished voting before it was resolved so I don't know if they eventually took off their hats in order to vote or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649934 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 16:58:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2649934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went at 7:45am and there was no line!<br /> I also live in a smaller suburb. I was voter number 149 at my precinct :)</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: I live in a firmly blue state as well, however in my town and those nearby, they always come in red. I'm outside the major suburbs, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649933 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 16:58:11 +0000 lovehoneybee 2649933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, not really. I was in line a half hour before the polls opened this morning (I was #56), and it was 30 degrees out, so that was lame (only because I had the baby with me). Once the polls opened I only waited 15 minutes to vote. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649931 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 16:52:16 +0000 Mama Bird 2649931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Just some lines, but lots of polling places here so it wasn't bad. I'm shocked reading that some people had to stand in line for hours for early voting... though I wonder if that's because there are usually much fewer polling places open before Election Day? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649928 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 16:45:50 +0000 jape14 2649928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I waited in line for about 30 minutes -- longest line I've ever seen at my polling place! My DH is a lawyer and he's doing "election protection" today; I'm interested to see if he encounters any voters having problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649924 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 16:33:50 +0000 youboots 2649924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We vote by mail and have not voted yet. So we will walk down this afternoon and drop off in person at city hall </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649921 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 16:26:56 +0000 Mrs D 2649921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Painless and quick...my old polling location was not so painless - lots of aggressive campaigners at the 100 foot line!</p> <p>A co-worker got a call from his Mom/Dad in PA - guess they are having some bigger issues there... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649916 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 16:13:44 +0000 Andrea 2649916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I went early with the kids and there was only a few people ahead of me in line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649913 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 16:12:37 +0000 winniebee 2649913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - barely any line, but I went at 8:30 and live in a small town. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649894 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 15:48:48 +0000 raspberries 2649894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No issues - hardly any line at all. I think I spent more time at the bake sale outside trying to figure out what kind of muffin I needed most, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-voting#post-2649888 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 15:42:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 2649888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not! We live in a pretty small suburb now and I went midday, so I was in and out in minutes (minus the old ladies saying hello to my kids). Respectful people were holding signs near the entrance to the parking lot but that was it, and there was a police officer there inguess to make sure everyone obeyed all the rules. </p> <p>Last time I had to wait outside in the cold for an hour, but I lived in the city in I guess a popular precinct! I have never experienced any kind of intimidation, but have also always lived in firmly blue states. </p>
