I also really don't like standing in lines when it's not necessary for me.
I assumed Sumter county does the same as Lake county - in Lake county we get a sample ballot mailed to us before Election day. It shows exactly the same stuff that's on the real ballot, so we can research at home (though - many of us do that researching weeks and even months in advance before they even send those sample ballots out).

When I get to the voting location I know exactly which little bubbles I'll be filling in. Waiting in line can be tough for people with mobility difficulties though.
