I live in a tiny town outside Carson City, NV. My husband and I got to the polls at 6:45AM. There were already about 100 people already in line - in the cold and wind. This is our first Presidential election outside of California so we had no idea what to expect.

Once the polls opened it was actually very smooth sailing. They had the lines broken up alphabetically and the people working the lines were very good. Our polling place had the touch screen voting and it seemed to be going very well.

We waited in line for about 15 minutes and once we received our machine cards we walked right up to a machine.

The only major issue is that they are having our entire town vote at the local HS. Between the hundreds of people showing up to vote and the students showing up for school it was a bit of a madhouse. Anyone showing up a bit later won't have to deal with the student traffic but they likely won't be finding a place to park.

On the plus side - most of the bumper stickers in the parking lot were McCain/Palin. =)

The kids in my town have the day off for that very reason.
