  1. That was a shame that so many people had to wait in lines for several hours to vote. In these locations I don't understand why they just don't set up many more locations to vote. This was the first year in a long time that we didn't have the choice of voting machines and paper ballots. This year it was all paper ballots for everyone in our precinct. The line moved quickly for us as everyone understands paper ballots. I heard that in some areas they had between 9 - 13 pages to fill out as part of their vote. That's ridiculous and should have had the pages mailed out to them early so that they could fill out all of these pages in the privacy of their own home and then mailed them back in. I'm sure that not everyone voted that wanted to because some people are not able to stand in line for 7 hours. Our line was between 30-45 minutes long and when we finally reached the table the precinct workers apologized and said that if this happens again that they will put out the bleachers so that the elderly can wait their turn in line while sitting if they so chose to sit. I had no problems because the line moved swiftly and everyone was visiting with each other that it helped pass the time.
