Check in for first day of early voting turnout in Delaware.

I can report on Newark. When voting opened this morning, my daughter said the line was around the building at the Hudson Svc Ctr. Action News (Philadelphia) came out to do a report. When we checked at lunchtime the line was still approximately 30 min long.

Other people please check in if you have any info.

in slower, lower Delaware, I arrived twenty minutes before the polls opened— ten forty; the line grew by half or so when polls opened. I was through voting about five to twelve and the line was no shorter.

Between 11am and 3pm, over 500 people had voted at the one location in Newark. My daughter was going to stop on her way home from work and she said the line was almost as long at 5:30 as it had been this morning when she went to work.
