I went by at a little past 9am. The line was even longer. Thought I was going to drop off my ballot. Went to the Post Office instead. The at 5 of 2pm I drove by and the line was still wrapped around the corner onto 4th..... not quite as long as in the morning. Mark Orton
ReplyDeleteAt about 3 this afternoon the line went all the way down 4th Street and 200 feet down Columbia.
ReplyDeleteI voted today. The line again snaked up Columbia to across from Helsinki. Took exactly an hour total.
