I was hoping there would be a NY thread. Voted for my man W in NYC today, Queens County. It took me about 2.5 minutes, and that was because I needed to sign in. It was about 8 a.m., before work, and I was 96. Not that high according to the poll worker. I've heard that lines were much longer in other areas of NYC, but not where I was. Have great confidence that the President is going to win this tonight.

I live in Queens too (Flushing) I voted at 6:40 and there had already been 52 people ahead of me
They were really moving at the poll----a voter went in--made there vote, and out they went in less than a minute.
I live in a fairly (for NY) republican enclave......not that will help, of course :-(

In Rochester (Greece NY) we voted at 9:00 AM and there were only 50 people who voted ahead of us. We were the only voters there. Two more votes for W.
I voted for GWB in Queens today too....and though there were a few people at every voting booth, there were really no lines. I voted around 9:30AM, later around 1PM our second born son voted and around 2:30PM our firstborn son voted. There was no wait for either of them.
I also found the poll workers were no where as nice or helpful as the poll workers I usually encounter. They weren't rude, they just weren't forthcoming in helping or providing info. When I saw two booths with my election district on them but neither with my assembly district correctly listed and I asked which I should use they just waved me towards the two instead of stepping up and guiding me more distinctly. I had to ask 3 times before a man sitting closer to the booth actually got out of his chair, reached for my card and waved me in.
