Commenter UrsusMajeure checks in with us this morning with an update on today’s early voting lines in Arlington:

For anyone thinking of doing early voting in Arlington this morning, think again – I went right as the polling place at Courthouse opened this morning, and the line was absurdly long, with a wait estimated at 3-4 hours.

Perhaps this means the crowds will actually be light on election day proper?

Well, we’re not so sure about “absurdly.” The Post reports today that those three to four hour waits have been the norm, rather than the exception. It’s especially important to note that if you were thinking about voting absentee in person in Virginia, today is your last chance – Maryland and D.C. voters can continue to vote early in person right up until Election Day. If you are planning on heading to your local early voting center today, better bring a good book.
