I decided the line was too long. Came back a few days later, shorter line. But given how fast the line went that second try, I'd have only been in line 10 or so minutes longer if I'd voted the first day. As it was, I was in an out in about thirty minutes.

A five hour line is unconscionable, be it early or Election Day voting.
