Here's another view of voting in good 'ole Santa Clara County

That's nothing--it took me two and a half hours to vote, and I heard about people waiting nearly five hours for the "right" to vote. One of the polls on campus ran out of English ballots and had to give out Spanish and Vietnamese ones. The line I stood in averaged 200 people during the time I was there. It was ridiculous, and cool, and ended up not making much of a difference. Too bad.
