When you voted for President in 2012, was there a longer line than in 2008?

No line either time, went early on 2008 and right after work in 2012. I guess I hit the sweet spot.

My poll was packed at 5:30am in 12 waiting for the doors to open at 6. I knew there was hope for change that morning and I was beaming with pride that entire day seeing true American citizens taking pride in their country. I was sorely mistaken at 10pm that night.

Significantly longer and they were almost all black voters. Took me over 2 hours to vote. in 2008 i was in and out in under 30 min at the same polling place.

Mine was the exact opposite. Huge line in 2008, walked right in and voted in 2012. Knights of Columbus on Buford Dr in Atlanta

12-15 minutes for both times.

Voted 3rd party like a proud and dissenting American.

2008 - in and out in 5mins.:rimshot:
2012 - 25 minutes. Pretty sure the poll station helpers just learned to read the day before.
