Voted in 90% Dem. district (downtown Brooklyn, NY). Waited 1 hour 3/4 in 2012, in and out in a half hour today. There were 3 lines to wait on: (1) to sign your name on the register and get a ballot); (2) to fill out the ballot at a “privacy booth” and (3) to scan in the ballot. (I brought a 400 page book to read while I waited in line, remembering my 2012 experience, and didn’t even open it!) I know this is just anecdotal, but these libs were just not as enthusiastic about Hillary as they were about the “Mulatto Mugabe.”
My son lives in Brooklyn, too. He’s studying at SUNY Downstate. He told me that when he voted in the primary, the election worker automatically handed him a Democratic ballot. When he told her he needed a Republican one, she said, “Oh! I’m sorry! You’re the first person to ask for a Republican ballot all day.” I haven’t heard from him yet today.
Was St. Francis College on Remsen Street your polling place? At 11:00 there was a line around the block. A half an hour later, no line at all. I sailed right it.
