1. Source?

We live in Travis and I haven't seen anything local on the story.

2. I'm in the line to vote

Poll worker/ volunteer came out and informed the crowd after the long line had not moved in about 25 minutes.

3. Thanks.

Not a good start. We're planning on going later in the week.

4. Now they're saying

It was 5 or 6 locations and the tech team is on the way to fix the issue. We are the last location to get fixed.

6. Longest line I've ever seen in Austin

At 7 am in South Austin (deep blue 78704) the line was 300 yards long with people still streaming in. I couldn't wait this morning, but I'll make as many passes at it as I can until I can get counted. It's an encouraging sign of how determined people are to get it done.

9. Yes

The line was about that long at 7am.

8. Some people just cheered

Way over at the front of the line. We’re not sure why though.

10. Sooo...I had to go back home after standing in line for over an hour and a half.

I finally ate some breakfast. Cup o coffee. Checked votetravis.com and found another polling place with a ten minute wait, which was true and I voted. The first place that I went had a line that was moving, but only because people were fed up or had to be somewhere else and were leaving. The front of that line never moved.

11. And people are in line to vote!

I saw long lines at one of the early-voting locations in North Central Austin. I haven’t voted yet; I plan to wait a day or two, then see about making Orange Julius a one-term President.

Bastacon Trump!
