Tweets from a long line in Detroit
Michigan Radio's assistant news director encountered a long wait at her polling location in Detroit this morning. And a story unfolded.
Never seen so many people at my polling place before. Should have brought gloves #election2012
@sarah_hulett I was in line for 3 hours this morning. I was in line for only 2 hours in 2008.- @DawudWalid never waited more than a minute at my precinct before. #monsterballot

@sarah_hulett What happened? Not enough machines? Long lines? Broken machine(s)?- @ZachGorchow long line. 1.5 hours waiting and not inside yet. I can see the door though!
- A long wait, but moods are good.
- Detroiters are a patient lot. Everyone good natured despite absurd wait to vote #mivote #election2012
@Sarah_Hulett 12 people in front of me waiting in line for 2 hours. Public radio votes. #wdetnews #election2012- Overheard in the voting line: "I need to call my number lady." #detroit #election2012
- Love in the voting line: guy in front of me gave girl behind me his digits. By now they know each other well. #election2012
