I vote at a small rural area. The poll lady said that around 600 voted in the last election and so far (2 hrs before closing) 750 have voted today..

2. I had to wait 5 minutes, which has also never happened before
I tend to vote after work, so it's usually pretty empty by the time I get there. Today, I had to wait a few minutes for a booth to open up. Hope that's a good sign.
