I was number 67 in to the machine at my polling place**, shortly after noon.

I commented how disgusted I was at such a low number.

The Precinct Captain responded that our area has lots and lots of mail in ballots.

Edit to add:

* If you are in the US in a state holding primaries today. Actually in California there are 7 state props and my county has 2 local props on the ballat, so it's not just primaries to vote on.

** My county went back to paper going into OCR machines. One per precinct station. No clue how many folks are in my precinct.

How big are precincts, usually? How many voters to a precinct?

The one I voted in when still in Mannheim had ~600 voters in total in it, I think, so 67 around noon (depending on number of booths, of course) would have been an ok number there, I think.

And, I'd totally vote, but I can't. Hmm, it'd be interesting if interested foreigners could vote somewhere, on a website or something, just for fun - and to see which country is leaning which way... . Hmm.
