Reports from the polls are busy already this morning. I've heard from a couple of people at a Woodbury and Burnsville polling place. One said there was a long line outside with 300-400 people waiting for the site to open. Inside they described “organized chaos” as voters filled out their ballots on the floor, on the wall, and just some inside the booths. The voters told me they had never seen such diversity and youth at their suburban polling places which are new swing districts. There were many people doing same day registration.
In the conservative suburb of Lakeville, one man told me there was no line to vote and the line was longer to get his coffee at Starbucks a few blocks away. A couple of voters in the St. Paul area report "busier than usual" with waits of 20-40 minutes. One saw an exit poller for the first time at their polling place.
