I don't think the public thought the lines were going to be that long (they weren't well informed) that the polling stations were reduced from 400 (2008) to 200 (2012) to 60 yesterday. For a county with 50% of the state's vote, you'd think 60 polling stations wouldn't be enough. VRA decimation and Republican voter suppression.
