Took all of 5 minutes for me to vote this morning.  The polling place
is about 1/2 mile from my house in an old mill.  There were more
observers than voters.

The funniest part is that I'm in the voter register twice - once with
just my first initial and once with my first name spelled out. 
Apparently they never deleted my old registration when I switched from
registered Independent to registered Green Party.  Since they don't
check identification, only verifying your signature, and both
signatures are mine, I could, if I was so inclined, vote twice.  Of
course, the same poll workers will likely be there all day and they'd
recognize me if I showed up again.  I've been in the register twice
for years now.  I've pointed it out, but no one seems terribly
concerned and it never gets corrected.
