Longer lines than 4 years ago
Nov. 4th, 2008 05:25 pmHit the polls early here in Newton, as is my custom. Spent 15-20 minutes in line which is a record. Four years ago, I spent about 10 minutes in line for the presidential election which was my previous record for waiting since I have lived here. The line was just as long when I left and the parking was a mess. Big turnout, I think. Newton runs the polling places very well, they were getting people through as fast as could reasonably be expected.
