Completed the assignment in North St. Louis County, MO!

I voted early in-person absentee at Northwest Plaza Election board. They were quite busy but they are doing an awesome job moving people through like a well-oiled machine. There was a line outside for everyone entering through security/metal detector, and then another line in the lobby and a small set of switchback lanes in the office. In total it took me a little over an hour; 20 minutes of it was scribbling with the ball point pen. I imagine it will get busier later in the week so if you have a free hour it's still much less of an Election Day line!

I was amazed at the line. When I voted in 2022 I pretty much walked right up and got a ballot. I waited for at least 1/2 hour before I handed over my ID.

Although it wasn't quite the wait, it reminded me of election day 2008 experience when we all had to vote on one day.
