Hmm, I've never heard this. I do know we're only one of three state who close the polls at 6pm, which is ridiculously early. A friend of mine who just moved there said there's a two minute time limit in the booth and that there was a CLOCK COUNTING DOWN Never seen that. That sounds like some county-specific shenanigans that your friend needs to report to someone.

Yes, and it was expanded in my county this year. There was a location within walking distance from my neighborhood. Also, a lot of city/ state employees live in my neighborhood, so they have easier access. Most city employees have today off too, so I'm guessing they weren't up at 6:30 lol. At least I'm hoping. I just heard Indiana has a time limit on voting. WTF sort of shenanigans is this?! It’s a pile of shit. I complained about it in 2016 too but I swear it’s shorter now. There are signs posted everywhere, including on the voting booth, that there is a 2 MINUTE limit in the voting booth per Indiana state law. It’s bonkers. And they don’t send out voting guides and sample ballots. You have to research it yourself online. At the polls, they only had TWO sample ballots, each attached to tables away from the line.

Did our kids all talk about keeping us up last night? I spent last night in the ER with ds(he's fine now). We are going to a library playdate to keep me distracted.
