I early voted in Chicago today. The line took an hour and a half in line to get to the machine.

I think that horrible governor of ours will be gone soon.

1. And you wonder how long

those in the rural counties took to vote. I bet under 10 minutes.

5. I am hoping it took them a long time too and they voted for Prtitzker

everyone should vote.

But, I see what you are saying. There were 10 voting machines and I didn't see anyone having any issues with voting or same day registration. Also, we viewed a piece of paper where our ballot is printed before it is cast. It's a big city. I think it's just that there are more people than they expected with early voting.

2. These long lines are a form of voter suppression.

People who work, can't wait like that on a work day! This keeps the working poor away from the ballot box. I saw the same in Oklahoma in early voting, people leaving the line because they could not wait.

8. That is why people should use in person early voting.

People can vote at times when they don't have to work. Every problem has a solution if people use their heads, if they don't use their heads, republicans have more impact than they should.

9. But there is early voting 7 days a week in Chicago some of it evening hours

I know there is a lot of voter suppression. I just don't think it's here. There was same day voter registration. The judges were working hard. No one who wanted to vote was unable to register and get a ballot when I was there. It just took a long time and they should have had more machines.

10. Not everywhere, not here in Oklahoma it is 8 to 5.

4. It's disgusting people have to wait that long

We need more voting days, voting by mail, a national day off for election day (or move election day to a weekend), etc.

6. Good for you, and still waiting for 1.5 hours!!! Good news on the young folks. I welcome...

them w/ open arms and appreciate their help along w/ all of us, in taking the first steps to making this country a better place w/o rump and the racist and bigoted messages being put forth by rump fanatics.

We are a better place without the MAGAbomber, without the MAGAshooters, without the MAGA blowhards, without the MAGA period. This term will soon come to mean those that purposely hide a message of hate, bigotry, whining, and the likes by using a term like 'MAGA', especially when America has always been a great place.

7. It did not feel like voter suppression. Most judges there are people of color. I really think

it's just high turn out. I saw no one complaining about being turned away. Lots of people were registering to vote as they were voting. I just think it was high turnout and the city hadn't thought it through.

As much as I dislike Rahm. He does not want to keep rauner in as governor.

12. The part that makes my heart sing

Is what you say about how many people are registering to vote. That’s wonderful news! Maybe it’s because of Obama campaigning.

11. In my area, it takes a LONG time

to early vote. hour lines are common.

But day of voting their is never a wait.
