I am amazed at the time it is reported on TV that people are prepared to stand in line to vote.
Is this countrywide or just in high population areas? In Britain I cannot imagine anyone being prepared to wait more than 30 minutes or so.
My own experience about 10 - 15 minutes has been my maximum and that was always inside the building not lining up outside and would include handing over my polling card collecting the ballot paper.
I am in NE TX - not a large urban area (I am 2 hours from Dallas, and 4 hours from Houston). Early voting takes place where my real precinct is, and I have NEVER had to stand in line before. I have also worked early voting and regular voting as an election clerk and election judge. On the actual day of voting, there may be a line late in the day, close to closing time. But this was the first day of early voting.
The local news outlets have talked about the much larger 'turnout' numbers that we are seeing.
