Yup....my wife and I went to vote today late and decided to go back early tomorrow..... The lines were simply too long.... probably at least 150 people outside in line...

I also voted first day in OHIO feels like a month ago, because it WAS almost a month ago.

This early voting crap is for the birds. Use to have to vote election day. Why can’t we still vote election day!

We voted today in Lakeland. This is the first time I have “early voted”, so I am not sure what a normal line looks like. Arrived just after 1:00.

Our wait time was slightly under two hours.

why don’t they have more places to vote. i have been voting for over 30 years and it has never taken more than 2 or 3 minutes to go through a line. 5 hours? That’s crazy

The ballot is so long. 4 full pages, if you haven’t read the amendments before you go (as I imagine many people won’t have) there’s going to be a real back up on election day.

Why can’t we still vote election day!
Because - when it rains, Democrats don't vote. If it rains, snows, or is cold & windy on Election Day, the pinko-commies stay home.
Early voting is just another Liberal scam to get out their base over some extra period of time.
It also gives Dems a better opportunity to prepare for a re-count.

No state should go along with the Democrat scam of early voting. Either you show up on election day or you don’t care enough to vote. Many employers gave you time off to go vote. And only the really old and disabled should get absentee ballots

Early voting is always a Democrat initiative. No Republican in a state legislature should agree to it

Mark my words, we will get burned by all the easy voting crap at some point.

My union cousin says there’s talk of a push for workplace voting now too.

I can see it now. Ballots will come into a shop and a couple of union officials will sit down and fill out all the ballots, then ballot applications will be given a signature.

Virtually everything we've ever done to "empower" the voters has driven us more firmly toward the democrats because population centers win. The 17th amendment is a perfect example of what happens when a popular vote chooses senators. Here in Michigan Senators are chosen by Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Flint while the rest of the state votes republican.
