They are so friendly and always want to help. It's just hard for someone who doesn't even do email to use a system that is so new. Normally I wouldn't mind at all waiting, but work was calling my name. Still waiting for the results..My son went in around 11:00 and there was no line at all.

It was so cool! There was a man in an army uniform in line ahead of me. I would've loved to know how he voted. As for our lines, the thing that annoyed me was that they weren't letting people based on where they were in line but rather by their name so that people who got there after me got to vote before me. The other thing was, the "judge" came out and explained how everything worked. He said that you had to hit "cast ballot" TWICE for it to take and that if you didn't hit cast ballot twice and you left the room, they would have to cancel your vote and you wouldn't be allowed to recast your vote. I got in there, did what I had to do and hit "cast ballot" (or cast vote maybe? one of those) and the flag appeared and said "thank you for voting". I turned around to my 90 year old, hard of hearing and 3-inched glasses folks and pointed out that we'd been told we had to hit the button twice. The lady next to me agreed with me and they said if we saw the flag, we were done. So, hopefully my vote counted today. :) I voted and for the first time ever, I had to wait in line to get in to vote! It was so cool! There was a man in an army uniform in line ahead of me.
