85% voter turnout expected

At least that's what local election officials told my wife, who got a job as an election judge/paper pusher this year in our county. That's why I voted absentee this past Saturday, to avoid standing in line for 2 plus freaking hours. Well that, and because she had to vote absentee since she's working the election and I figured I'd tag along and cancel out her straight Democratic ticket with a straight Republican.
In and out in 10 minutes. The polls are going to be a madhouse on 11/4. Folks always turn out heavy for presidential elections and this year should be off the charts.
What will make it worse here is that there's a ton of other issues to be voted on. So you get all these people who show up just to vote for president, uneducated about what the other ballot langauge is about, and they stand there reading the questions over and over, not knowing whether to fish or cut bait.
