Last time I voted on election day, I was in line for hours and hours. The polls closed and they still had hundreds of people in line so they crammed us inside winding around in circles and locked the doors. We all eventually got to vote, but I said then that I wouldn't be voting on election day if I could help it again.
I went the other day to early vote. The closest polling place is in the next precinct over and since I went during early voting, I was able to go there. I once made the mistake of going there and waiting in line on election day only to find out the obvious polling place for me isn't the one I'm assigned to and I had to drive some distance to get to mine because you can only vote in your precinct on election day but you can vote in any of your county's precincts in early voting.
There were several other people there when I went the other day and a steady stream of those coming and going, but no wait. I had pages upon pages of propositions to go through. I spent about 20 minutes reading and casting my vote on them. I was surprised by how many people were in and out in under 2 minutes. Their votes would make a much bigger statistical difference on the local level propositions that will have a significant impact on their day-to-day lives and they apparently ignored them all.
I asked for my sticker and was told that they do not have them and haven't for years. My precinct had them last year. I might stop in to a polling place on Tuesday just to pick up a sticker.
