Lines are almost entirely nonexistent at my polling place. I have never stood in a line for more than ten minutes, I live in a relatively quiet neighborhood and there's just never been a huge crush to vote on election days at any particular time. But, I went this morning before work, and out of the two machines they had to accept the ballots (we use paper/inkblot voting and then you have to feed it into an automatic accepter) broke. So, I was in line for a good hour and a half. Nothing compared to the stories you hear about 3, 5, 8 hour waits in hotly contested districts in Ohio or Florida-- but still, that was a multiplied increase and I had never, never been there when all of the little voting booths were totally full ... they were today.

I am sure, if you are used to lines at your location, they will be worse than usual. So don't wait until 6:30pm after work to vote if you live in such a district.
