Voters in precinct V070 in at the Anne Kolb Center in Hollywood came prepared for the long haul that was not. The wait was 45 minutes tops.
Two voters came via bicycle and waited in line with their bikes in hand. Other voters came with their children, some in strollers.
Voters came equipped with books, magazines, cell phones, iPods and armchairs.
Mary Shea, 82, said that back in the day, when she first voted , she'd enter a booth and flip a lever to cast her ballot. She said her father owned a pig farm in Albany, New York, and that he needed to vote Democrat because they were the ones who picked up the trash.
Concetta D' Elena, 54 and a teacher, talked about meeting three presidents: John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford. Carter she met at the American Stock Exchange, where she worked on the floor. She met Ford on a golf course.
