it took me about 30 minutes to vote at 6:30am. i had to park a few
blocks away, but there no "challengers" at my polling place, and one of

gauntlet wasn't so bad. how was it on your end?

The polls open at 6 a.m. here in Illinois. I walked over about
6:55 and received the 100th ballot issued (the election judges
numnber the outside of the envelopes.) Took me about 20 minutes
to vote. Traffic will slow down after 9 and pick up again after
5 of course, but still 100 votes in less than an hour is a HEAVY
turnout, especially in the cold rain and considering Illinois
has been solid blue since 1992.

If it makes you feel any better, take a look at this site:

One can only hope.
