And I went at an off hour the first time I voted, about 10:30. There were at least 40 people ahead of me in line, though there were plenty of booths and it only took about 10 minutes waiting. However, I suspect the folks who go after work found it much more crowded and the wait even longer. Maybe nobody votes because the govt. makes it as much of a pain in the patootie as possible. True, it isn't the same as wintering at Valley Forge or chasing Robert E. Lee through to wilderness to protect our franchise, but modern man is not made of the same stuff as our forefathers.
