Just voted (OH), only a 45 minute wait for me.  My polling location is divided into two lines however (based on first letter of street name) and the other line was over 2 hours long.  This other line is always a lot longer…  Bad for them, good for me I guess.

Only saw one major issue while I was there.  A voter with an ID that had an old address was told he had to cast provisional ballot which is not exactly correct.  If you are in the book you can cast normal ballot, it’s only if they have no record of you that you have to cast provisional.  The information provided to the pollworkers is incorrect.  It has been mentioned on the local news already.  Incidentally it was cleared up on the spot because the voter in question was a trained poll observer and required the clerk to call the Board of Elections.

Now it’s a waiting game…  If you haven’t made it to the polls, get moving!
