I voted this morning. Turnout was more than expected but the bozos had only two booths for an entire district to use. Lesson: Don’t think the long lines mean more voters, it could be they just have less machines.
Here in Oklahoma, a voting booth is a desktop tri-fold piece of pre-printed cardboard sitting on a folding table, usually 3 or 4 to the table, and a magic marker to mark the ballot.
After voting, voters feed their ballots into the single reader machine near the exit door.
Need to add more voting booths? A buck-two-ninety-five and 45 seconds.
That’s because we’re smarter here in Oklahoma.

BTW, when I voted at 7am, there were two long lines, one for each half of the alphabet. When I returned at 9am so my daughter could vote, there were no lines.
I conclude that the long lines happened because a lot of people needed to vote before going to work. I imagine the long lines will return in the late afternoon.
This is a strong red precinct in a strong red State. McCain will get well over 60%, as will Senator Inhoff and Congressman Sullivan.
