I voted this morning at around 9 a.m. It looked at first like there was going to be a long line, but, the long line was for voters who had not registered yet. It took me about 15 to 20 minutes to get in and vote-- I thought it went pretty smoothly. 

This morning, I heard from a fellow reporter who is an Eden Prairie voter.  She reported that the average wait at Precinct 10 at 7 a.m. was 40 minutes.

The election judges there told her that two people were in line when they arrived at 6 a.m.

So, the morning rush is likely over, but I expect there to be long lines during the lunch hour and after 5 p.m.

Let me know how it goes.

Early voting: Lisa Dodd, associate pastor at Eden Prairie United Methodist Church, and Bob Hohrman youth director, pass out cookies and other treats to early morning voters Tuesday. The 7 a.m. line reached from the church doors out to Scenic Heights Road, with most early morning voters experiences a 30 to 45-minute wait to complete the process. By 8 a.m., however, the Precinct 10 line had shrunk considerably and voters were getting in and out quickly.
