I was at Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ in 2004 and took some pictures of the line people stood in to vote. I'm sure that in the morning there wasn't a very long line, but you still have a few hundred college students descending on the one voting location from noon until 8 pm.

This wasn't an isolated occurrence either. So, has anything changed?

Will there be more problems and delays with electronic voting machines?

And how long would you wait in line in order to cast your one vote? Half hour, one hour, two hours, all day?

Here are the people going into the building, where there was a little line inside.

They wind around the tree, and into the parking lot.

And then a lot of them are in the parking lot.

The same thing happened in 2002, because I remember talking to some Chinese graduate students about why all of those people were in line.

*These pictures are posted at my Yahoo page, so if a lot of people look at them, they might not be able to get to see them until an hour later.
