I was at the Colony Rec Center to vote at 8:45 this morning. Tons of people there. The room was way too small for the amount of people. Lines snaking around the room. One line snaked 3 times around the room just to scan your ballot. The scanner broke right in front of me and they had us slip our ballots into a slot to be counted later. I was there for a total of two hours standing. I'm healthy and can do that. Several others could not.

Hubby went at 4:30 and voted and was back in an hour. Said the line was long to scan his ballot also. Only one scanner. I was told by someone that they had cut in half the number of polling stations from what we used to have. I wish I had voted in the early voting, but I just wasn't ready. I had to read up on the amendments. Next time I'll do that early enough to avoid all of this.
