I Voted Today

I stopped by the precinct at 7:30 to vote. I was amazed that I would have to wait - since we're talking such a rural area. Even though the line didn't appear to be too long - it still took half an hour to get to vote. They had 1 person checking electronic voting ballots, 1 checking paper voting ballots (voter could choose). There were all kinds of rules about what line you had to stand in, and where you had to stand - and even though there was NO ONE in the paper voting line, you were not allowed to encroach on their area. At one point the poll workers chastised us for not standing in line correctly - and then made fun of us when we did line up correctly. Nice huh?
Anyway - here is a picture of the line when I arrived.
