Yeah, here too. I have voted several times now in 2006, 2008 and 2009 and 2010 and as soon as I went in I was able to vote. I don't think that you have to wait 10 minutes or so even in bigger places like Vienna.

The only reason to vote in Vienna is for sausages and Billy Joel songs...

Hearing about 11 hour lines in past elections have just dumbfounded me. In Denmark about 85% of eligible voters vote in parlamentary elections. I myself have now voted in 6 parlamentary elections (held every 4 years as a general rule) and I have never ever dealt with line issues. We're talking an absolute maximum of 2-3 minutes of waiting in any of the elections I have participated in. It really should not be difficult for a modern civilized nation to provide enough voting booths for people to exercise their democratic rights without too much fuss.

Yeah, I've never really encountered much of a line either. But then again, the turnout in my precinct is usually 40%.

But you, and the Danish and we in Germany....etc., don't have partisan Republicans running elections designed to be as convenient as possible for their candidates.
I suggest you actually get some facts before you start making things up.  The lines tend to be in areas controlled by the democrats.  That is, those places where they tend to let the dead, the non-registered and the illegal aliens vote.

I just received a fairly credible tip that Obama was up by 300,000 votes in the final early voting count in Georgia.

In all fairness, there doesn't seem to be strong correlation between results and early voting.
