Long Lines Plague Start of Early Voting in Virginia

Lines of voters stretched hundreds deep in northern Virginia and other parts of the state on the first day of early voting in the 2020 presidential election.

Friday marked the first day of early voting across the commonwealth. In past presidential elections, Virginia voters needed a reason to cast an early ballot. This year, however, anyone can vote early.

In Fairfax County, election workers were scrambling to open an additional voting room at the county government center where a line of hundreds of voters, spaced six feet apart, stretched down the block. Long lines were also evident in other northern Virginia locations, where Democrats outnumber Republicans.

Equally long lines, though, were reported in Virginia Beach — where voters stood in the rain — and other parts of the state as well.

Early in-person voting continues through Oct. 31 in Virginia. Voters do not need to submit any application to vote early in person.

No one is complaining. Look at ALL the voters. That's the story.

At least they're voting. One thing I've learned is that "socially distanced" lines (6ft apart) move a lot quicker than lines with everyone packed together.

Kudos to people voting in person. Regardless of how you're voting, you set a great example.
We must ensure the integrity of the voting processes.

Plague? Oh please! What a ridiculous use of words to describe people who were more than happy to wait in line for over 3 hours just to make their votes count.

A quarter mile line with social distancing, in reality, is a 45 foot line. LOL

Each generation must fight it's own battle to keep America free and democratic.
All in all, defeating fascist this time is still relatively easy, except for the 200, 000 + fatalities.

Waiting in line is a small price to pay for the right to vote. Unless you vote blue then just stay home😀
