I went and voted this morning and it ended up taking me like two and half hours. I ended up going to two different polling places. I had moved to a new place back in August and I wasn't sure where I needed to vote. I looked online and I saw information that if I was at my new address for over 60 days, I had to vote at  the new polling place. So, I went to the new polling place and the line there was very long. It was uncomfortable standing out there in the cold, and there was a couple behind me who kept coughing and they weren't wearing a mask. I stood in that line almost two hours, and the way that they were moving people didn't seem to be very efficient. 

When I got inside and talked to the poll workers they told me that I actually needed to go to my old polling place, because my address was still in the system. (Though, I have actually received voting information to my new address prior to election day) I went to the old polling, place and they told me that my new place should have let me vote.

My old polling place did let me vote, and it didn't take me very long to vote there. That place never has a big line and when I went there there was hardly anyone there. I was actually the 50th person to vote there today.

My observations from voting at the polls today is that at my new polling place there were a lot of republicans in line voting. There are a lot of Trump republican signs all throughout the neighborhood.

And that I will also be doing mail in voting for the foreseeable future. I don't usually stand in long lines like that to vote. That was uncomfortable and not very efficient and I don't want to be in long lines like that due to COVID. I already have a high exposure job and I don't want to deal with any more than necessary. I'm one that usually likes to go in person to vote, but I don't like my new voting place and don't want to wait in long lines there, lol.
