It took about 30 minutes for me to cast my vote this morning. Actually, it took about 3 minutes to vote, but 27 minutes to stand in line. In our rural precinct, they have new touch-screen voting booths. I liked the ease of use. The instructions were pretty straightforward, but I need that little piece of paper.

Turnout was heavy despite a drizzle and construction around the precinct voting place. I was surprised to find lines of people coming to vote at about 8:30 a.m. There were reports on a local radio station (WORD) earlier in the day of a couple of Greenville County precincts not getting started at 7 a.m., but it was only two out of 39. There were no poll-watchers or canvassers standing outside our precinct.
