The polls at one of the districts in my city is in complete disarray. I'm exit polling people to see if they had any problems voting and I'm getting a lot of complaints. The wait now is two and a half hours, but seems to be dying down as people are going to work, or giving up on voting entirely. Many could be planning to come back tonight, but I have no idea if it's gonna be better or worse this evening.

I had the chance to quickly poll NJ Governor Corzine and asked him when he arrived in line. He said it had been 6:25AM. He didn't vote until 7:10AM. There were camera crews all around and Corzine gave a little press conference after speaking with me.

The problem in this particular district is that there has been hundreds of new housing units contructed but the polling is done based on the census of 2000. We've had a population explosion in Hudson County and unfortunately they haven't redistricted to take that into account. So the population of 4-5 new high rises is having to vote at a place that has only 2 booths, and very slow poll workers.

Here's a wide angle shot of the line. It snakes out of the firehouse, down the block, around the corner, and down to the end of the block. Two and a half hours. (edit: the people at the end of this line didn't get to vote until 3 hours and 10 minutes later.)
