We voted in the Boston area. My husband had a line this morning but I think it was the morning rush hour. I went in with my 13 year old after school. (no line then) She is VERY interested. She watched the debates and followed the press coverage in the paper. She wanted to vote. I took her with me to at least see the process in action.
I think the polls should be open later then 8 p.m. that might help with the lines. Thats got to be a huge turn off for some people.
