I was the 316th voter at MLK, Jr. Park

in South Minneapolis at 8:20 am this morning.

There was a longer line than I've experienced in the past there. How about you guys?

and there was already a line out the door. Busiest I’ve ever seen it and I’ve been voting at MLK for years. It’s a well-oiled machine, though, and the neighborhood association gave me free coffee.

they were out at 8:30!
I've only been voting there for four years, but it was the busiest I've ever seen it. And, as you say, it ran very smoothly.

Couldn’t tell how many were in the line for the other precinct (I’m in 3).
