How bad do you think the lines will be in suburban MD?

Maybe I'm naive, but I'm cautiously optimistic that the lines won't be outrageous at my polling place since it is in a neighborhood where I suspect all residents are seasoned voters who vote at every election as opposed to an area comprised of likely new voters. Anyone else feel the same way? Given the hype, I'm wondering if everyone will hit the polls at 7am to beat the lines before heading to work. When do most folks plan to vote?

I think MoCo is expecting 85% turnout tomorrow. I've always voted in the evening (6:30-7:00) and never had more than a few minutes wait.

At my suburban MD polling place, they never seem to be ready at 7am. Last time, the polls did not open there until 7:30, so the line built up (people start lining up early). That said, once it starts running, it seems to move smoothly, if slowly. Many of the poll workers are elderly and a lot of the voters who were anxious to get to work were getting antsy at how slowly things moved.
