| Voted absentee 2 weeks ago. There was still a crowd at the clerks office at that time. |

I told my boss I'll be at the polls when I'm supposed to start my shift. I'd rather go during work hours  |

I have never had to wait more than 15 minutes to vote no matter what time I go. In Oklahoma we have to sign a register and vote on a paper ballot so there is no corruption..
There were 5 state questions on the ballot this year. |
Same here, paper ballots with ID check and signature to vote.
I will meet with my wife after work to hit the polls. We intended to vote early at the court house, but it never happened. No big deal, as our polling place tends to be fairly slow.
Our 13 year old daughter will be with us, as she has since the first election after she was born. She made the front page one year with a photo of her peaking out from behind the curtain while resting on her mother's hip.

My local polling location is always quick and easy - even during a Presidential term. I was in at 7:30am, out by 7:45. Being walking distance from my house is a bonus. I can't imagine early voting would be any more convenient in my case.
I don't think this is due to poor turnout, rather there are probably more retirees or alternate work schedule folks in my area, and they aren't as pressured to vote before or after work.

Voted at the county election office two weeks ago - no lines, but it was steady.
Benefit of a small town, I usually vote day-of and the wait hasn't been more than 10-15min.
I like that NC stayed with paper ballots. Quick count with the scanner, any questions (or humidity) and they can do a hand count.
Those electronic voting machines make me uneasy (relevant xkcd) |

My wife and I voted at ten o'clock today, I was number 567. I've voted in every election and have never never seen as many people as I have today and I'm in quite the rural area and in the last presidential election I voted an hour before the polls closed and I honestly think I was number 300 something at that time. It was great to finally see a turnout. I don't care how you vote as long as you do.

I went by our School and voted this afternoon, quiet as usual, in a town of 700 people. Who was voting today was the topic in the kitchen today, most of the under 30s were not, some of the 18/19 year olds were pumped to vote, which is cool.

Ended up voting without my wife, but with my daughter in tow. Timing. Polling place was busier than I have ever seen it, but I was still in and out in less than 15 minutes. Saw several friends/old acquaintances there, too.
I started voting as soon as I could, and have never stopped. It matters.

Interesting. I did see two young guys getting registered (we can register at the polls) but only a few of the under 30 set that I recall. Most were my age (47) or older.

Me too Dave- in fact, here in Idaho, I had a lot more little boxes to fill in because I voted the right way too. 
Side note- to all those who griped about requiring (some cried reimbursed) time off of work to vote: I call BS. Funny how all those who gripe also never bring up the fact they wouldn't consider early voting? These people wouldn't do the responsible thing if a polling station parked right in front of their parent's house. Excuse makers the whole lot of 'em

We moved to a new county recently
Had to reregister for the new county, but didn’t do it I’m time fir mail in ballots
So, we had to drive nearly an hour and do it there.
Was there just over an hour so not bad.
Had to endure the “ old white man” behind us telling other people in line his thoughts on everything while we were waiting.
Why is it that old white guys can’t wait to give their opinions to other people?
As an old white guy myself, I just Stfu and keep to myself. Why can’t the others?

Some folks are just opinionated, no matter their race/gender/whatever. Old white guys do not have the monopoly on this.
