i've never had to wait in line before

But there was definitely a line, albeit a short one, at Precinct 216 (on Pima between Craycroft and Wilmot) around 9:30 this morning.

I didn't witness any problems, but then most of the people voting were older and white, so not the traditional targets for disenfranchisement.

I zoomed through my ballot (including writing in Sam Schwartz for State Mine Inspector - I'm serious about that one!). People who arrived before me were still standing in their booths by the time I filled in all my little circles. I definitely did my homework before I went in, and I didn't need to bring my sample ballot or any other cheat sheet with me.

As I put my ballot in the machine on my way out, the man staffing it asked, "you've done this before?"

I grinned and replied, "once or twice."

I love election day.
