When I voted at the Lady Lake Library for the 2020 election the line was halfway around the building, just to get in. Then it was another 1/2 hour before I received the ballot and directed toward a booth to fill it out.
About an hour and a half in total, with an hour of it waiting outside. If you have to go to the bathroom, you lose your place and have to start over. If it's raining, bring an umbrella. If the sun is beating on your head and you're only taking 1 step forward every 5 minutes, better wear a hat, sunscreen, and bring plenty of water. Just don't give the water to anyone else who might need some, that is now illegal. And if you do need to drink plenty of water, remember the bathroom thing - you start over in the back of the line if you have to go.
Compare with this past Wednesday when I got to the community center, walked right in, there were two people ahead of me and one was on her way to the lady checking for IDs and handing out the ballots. The other person ahead of me was seen within a minute of that, and I was seen around two minutes later.
I was out less than 10 minutes after I walked in, and no lines at all to get in.
