I voted the evil "early voting" thing a couple of weeks ago, here in Dallas County, Texas, and it took about 20 minutes at Garland City Hall.
San Jose, short wait, all booths occupied. They said with the exception of a 45 minute break it’s busy all day.
Here in a red enclave in the People’s Republic of Maryland, I have never seen such lines. Normally, it’s walk up to the desk manned by 3 or 4 ladies. Today, it was a 5 minute line to get to the table of 8 ladies, and then wait in the voting line for 20 to 25 minutes.
Of course we have some hot ballot referenda, including homosexual marriage, gambling, etc. that are no doubt getting people motivated, too.
I am no fan of Romney, but had to pull the lever as the lesser of the evils.
