4. I'm in NC, local news is showing lines out of the door in some places.

I’ll post again after I go out to vote.

5. Thanks. ❤ nt

6. I'll be going out later this morning.

I’ll check back in. A friend is going to a different place, and we’ll compare.

8. Population's surely a factor.

Carrboro, NC
Population: 21,314, 2010 census

Matthews, population was 27,198 according to the 2010 Census

Cary, 2019 estimated population 170,282

I've never waited for early voting. The population of my entire county, as of the 2010 census, was only 52,217. But I never go on the first day either.

9. My friend just texted me from the wee town of Wingate.

Line around the building when she went by on her way to the vet. I’ve never seen more than a few people there.

She’s going to take a pic on her way back.

Here’s a link from Charlotte, I’m terrible at links, hope it comes through.

11. We've been driving around.

Lines everywhere I’ve seen. Masks and social distancing. And this is a red city/county.

Very well organized. Super psyched!

13. Yay! Me too!

12. I voted full out absentee

but returned mine in person. Honestly, his tweeting about the unfairness of it all is what made me go that route. It is nice to know it is done, and has been for over a month.
