[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Polling locations should be divided by party. I was at the Fairfax Govt Center on Wednesday and there were lots of people in line who were obviously trumpets. Their presence alone could’ve been intimidating to POC or others afraid of being around such people. They really need to make voting safer, not create situations where people may literally be standing right next to racists and white supremacists. That’s insane to expect people to be willing to face that kind of danger to vote. [/quote]

If anybody is wondering why our society and civic life stands on the brink of failure, look no further than this post.[/quote]

I posted about going home.  i went back later and the time to vote for taking my spot in line to walking out of the voting room was 2.5 hours.  Diverse people in line- age , race, etc.  Line time was about 2 hours and 25 minutes.  Actual voting maybe 5 minutes.

If I voted in the morning based on line length it would have been 3 hours and 15 minutes.  The only problem was a person near me who kept removing the flimsy cloth mask [ blow out a candle type through it] to blab on the phone.  Not an R or for Trump.

Many people walk past to get to their end place in line while you are in line.  The social distancing markers were usually honored- 1 person/6 feet.  Some groups of 2-4 went to markers together.  Not across the mark but in a clump thereby infringing on the 6 feet.  NO monitors.

Many people had absentee ballots in hand and a very small number arrived and crossed to the drop box.  Most people wanted to scan it in themselves so turned in their absentee ballots.  Even 65 and plus who could have had a runner bring it out and take it in to be scanned.[/quote]
