We just got back from voting. Don't know how it is in Knox Co., but in Blount Co. it's a mess. We first went to the courthouse, and there wasn't even a place to park so we went to the Everett gym location.

We stood in line for almost an hour. There were about 40 people in line when we got there. One person got tired of waiting and left. After we voted, there were about 60 or 70 people in line. They were bringing out chairs so seniors could sit while they waited.

As previously reported in the media, it is taking FOREVER for Republican voters to complete their ballot. On the section where they pick 14 delegates, they scroll through the 140 or so choices, pick one, then it brings up the page again, they have to scroll through again to pick another, and this repeats. Some people were getting frustrated and asking for help voting and asking if they had to vote for all 14 or any at all. There was a lot of confusion. Needless to say, the Democratic ballot was much simpler and it took less than a minute to vote.

Anyway, tomorrow is the last day of early voting so you might consider getting it over with because election day will be a disaster. If you decide to wait until then, pack a lunch.
