(3,275 posts)I went to the polling place at around 6:15 am and I was out in about 15 minutes or so. There were about 20 people there not including the people working. I only had to wait a couple of minutes. I live in a more republican area of NYC. There are a lot of older, white, religious people. I saw a bunch of people walking toward the polling place when I left.
Everyone was talking about voting at work. Most of the people I work with had long lines but they all waited between 30 minutes to an hour to vote this morning. One man gave up and is voting after work. Some of my colleagues are voting after work. One guy admitted that he did not register to vote. I counted the "I Voted" stickers that people were wearing on my way to work and there were 30.
I think high voter turnout is good anywhere. The more people that vote, the better chance that Trump will lose badly.
