Walked straight in and voted. No waiting.
We used those bubble ballots like the ones used when taking a multiple choice test in school. I have never worked so hard to color inside the lines. LOL!
I read in our newspaper that 37% of registered voters in our county had voted early. Maybe that's why it was so quick. Caroline

In Minneapolis, MN, suburb...dh walked right in at 8:30 am...
so I quickly threw on clothes (working from home today) and walked right in as well. Very happy it wasn't long! Our polls opened at 7 am, so maybe they were really busy before 8 am. I think they typically are longer here after 5 pm.
SO happy to have my vote in!

I voted last Wednesday, right as the polls opened. I waited about 5 minutes, but when I left, the line had grown to about 40 people.
DH voted this morning (darn it...LOL!) and got there right at 6 when polls opened, took about 20 minutes.

I heard lines were long when polls opened at 7...
...not hours long, but maybe 20 minutes or more.
I am voting at 3:30 after I pick the kids up from school. Taking the rest of the day off from work at that point so that the kids (4 & 6) can go with me. They've been so interested I think it is something they'll remember.

Most of the time that I go and vote
there are usually about 4-5 people in front of me. Today, there might have been 6 or 7. But, it took longer than it should have because all of the people were senior citizens that needed help with those fancy computers. LOL!

no line at our school
I voted by mail a couple weeks ago. Our polling place is my children's elementary school. I thought it would be chaos ... people dropping off kids for school and then voting. Nope. No lines at all.
Of course, I'm in CO and 1/3rd of our state have already voted prior to today. It's going to be a record turnout.
