I mentioned yesterday I stood 1.5-2 hr in line to vote. A few comments. This is a mainly rural area yet at 9-10 a.m. yesterday 5000 had voted since Mon. Was weird driving home because the traffic we would normally see was still parked back where we voted...several 100 in my estimate. still there. A sprinkling of younger but mainly over 50...quite a few handicapped and that brings up another point. Everyone was polite and on best behavior and no comments when handicapped allowed go to the head of the line. I was hanging onto my cane and several people, who had been there a good while, offered to let me (and my wife) bust the line if I needed...I didn't. And no masks. Interesting.

That’s the normal thing to do - respect and care! Good for y’all ! We haven’t seen very much of this in last 5 years.

That’s how it should be. I can’t say that was the case where I voted. Waited in line 2.5 hours, but there were people with canes and walkers - no one offered them a cut in line. I was surprised by this. No masks though!

That is on the organizers. Ours actually had scouts out finding the infirm and bringing them to the head of the line. But no complaints.
