"Having another polling place open would be nice. They averaged about three minutes no more than five minutes per person today. I was there for just under three hours and they processed a lot of people in that time. While I agree they definitely need room to grow I'm still grateful to live in a country where I'm able to vote!"

"My husband and I were there 3 1/2 hours today, and the line was always that long. Good turn out!"

"One more polling station being open would make a huge difference."

" I am in that picture somewhere, we arrived at 9am and got done with voting at 11:27a"
