At 12:30 p.m., LAist reader Greg Leeper arrived in Norwalk to vote and found a very long line that was the whole width of the parking lot that doubled back half the building width. More than two hours later, he was in a tent waiting to be called inside to vote. Come 3:30 p.m., he was inside finally, but waiting to get called to a voting booth.

UPDATE: At 3:55 p.m., nearly three and a half hours later, he was done. Phew!

Saturday was fun. I voted in like 45 minutes (yea there was a line) and I knocked out some phone banking for Obama as well. That Yes on 8 Visibility rally at the corner of Imperial and Norwalk -- not the biz'ness. The crazy lady on the 62 bus back to LA where I live -- also not the bees knees.

Jeez I hope my neighborhood polling place isn't like this. I never waited more than 10 mins to vote and thats for the elderly folks working the poll to find my address in the print out book, We need to learn from Nevada - they have machines sets up at shopping malls. Of course, they are computerized so they're probably rigged...

Do you vote at SFDS poloroid girl?

I'm more West... almost always at the SO Women's Club.

who does this?

one should question their intelligence for waiting three hours for anything except clean water in sub-saharan africa.

why not vote absentee or visit your polling place during off hours?

social darwanism....
