It doesn't matter how many people you had on the rolls. It matters how many showed up divided into the lenght of time it takes. Are you suggesting that the 3600 could be handled in under 1 minute each all day long?

We had over 1300. There was a line around the room. We had chairs set up and the folks moved the line every couple of minutes. But we had many absentee and early voters so we had lines even though not everyone voted at the poll on election day.

PS: I think our wait ranged up to just under an hour. We had five machines. One broke down and took an hour to reload. There were few times when there was less than a five minute wait. Big turnout. Could have used two-three more machines. More breaks for the workers : )

You're lucky. Many of the precincts in Ohio, such as mine, have the old punch card ballots. My county had quite a few local issues and there were candidates for local, state, and congress too. I can't imagine any one getting through it in less than 3 minutes. I waited about 10 minutes to vote, but it's a small precinct.
The best part of this Conyers/Jackson "forum" is that a representative of Conyers actually requested the DUs to give them some questions. The DUmmies were ecstatic!
