Turnout at my precinct looked predictably light.

Saw two other people voting besides me.

There were I believe 5 people working the polls. Everyone had gloves on. The lady who gave me my ballot had been called in at the last moment due to fears of a shortage.

I voted, got my sticker, and made sure to thank everyone who turned out to man the polls.

Hopefully there was sufficient mail-in and early vote turn out.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

It's annoying when people just assume everyone knows where they are. We don';t have a clue.

Thanks for voting though!

It's a real fear of mine what low turnout can do to the results. Lets hope it isn't any where near a deciding factor.

He'll people are getting raked over coals for going to the gym, store or anything remotely related to being around people. Why would they go stand in line and vote?

Not the same as those other activities. And people know Dotard is doing a bad job anyway.

Six feet. In addition, only a certain number of people will be allowed into the polling place at a time. Others will wait in line outside, with distancing. Of course, there probably won't be long lines

The OP described that, actually. How many remains to be seen. I expect turnout to be light, but there will be votes to count when the polls close, so your "no one" is not actually true.
