Walked in at 3:25 pm, walked out at 3:35 pm. Couldn't have done better than if it was on line and I was in the privacy of my own home. Killian park baptist… was awesome.

No way was it over 100 feet. No way was it 50 feet, unless you count the length of the line and not the actual distance. Any thoughts on this, folks?

At Georgia Tech: Almost 100 students in line at 11AM, which supposedly was only a 40 minute wait.

White folks everywhere. Took about an hour and a half. Hundreds of whiteys in that church, and the KFC across the street doing a brisk business...It was like bizarro world. Alas, no problems in line and everyone was very cordial. We are the 'most polite' city in America, after all. Voted this morning at a large A.M.E. church in Charleston County. White folks everywhere.

Finally voted 2 hours later. There were 8 operational voting machines and everything seemed to run pretty smoothly. Of course those with last names L - Z were hating it as their line was twice as long as the line for last names A - K. Thankfully, my last name starts with a C!

My wife & I waited in line for 2 hours: in at 9:45, confirming the "vote" button at 11:45. I've been to this polling place many times before, and this is the first time they had us wrapped down and around two hallways (usually it's a straight shot to the cafeteria). Another first: my mother-in-law lives in the same neighborhood and was visited by some Obama supporters doing a little stumping. Overall, folks were very patient. We had six voting booths, and the people working there kept things moving. I’m in Nathan Ballentine’s district (Irmo).

The 2 hours and 10 minutes were worth it though because I got to vote against most of the incumbents, even if they didn't have opposition I wrote someone in.
