From entrance to exit it was about 45 minutes. I got there at about 6:10 am. It was by far the most crowded General Election I've been to. (I usually always go right when it opens.)

How many people were there in your estimation? Four hundred thousand?

2008 was the longest I've ever seen. Actually had to wait in line for an hour just to get in the building and then another 20 minutes to vote.

Not long, which is fortunate. Hockey Gay now has one write-in vote for president in Illinois. Congrats!

10 minutes. Voted last week. It was fairly crowded but run efficiently.I think I was the only voter under the age of 70.

I must admit though, some judge named Bernstein got a vote against retention just because of his name though.

If it is the guy who was an alderman in Evanston, the guy is a douche anyway.

Not even 5 minutes...and that was only because the workers were a little disorganized. In and out in under 10 minutes, with a bagel and cream cheese.

Why don't you use the Chicago Council of Lawyers judicial evaluations as a voting resource?

I had to wait 5 mins tops. Everyone said they remembered me (probably because I am the only person who asks for a republican ballot in the primaries) and I didn't have to show ID for the first time in a few years.

I was in and out of there using the paper ballot. 10 minute wait for the electronic ballot.

It amazes me with all the possibilities of fraud that someone would even think about using an electronic ballot.

That was in and out. And there were 24 booths set up and 80% were in use.

They were expecting a 70-75% turnout
