    I think it's less red-vs-blue and more income bracket related. In order to actually participate in this sport, you have to have some degree of disposable income.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    We had huge lines in parts of Virginia, which is one reason why it took so long to get a result from here. If you were waiting when the polls closed at 7, you were allowed to vote even if it was 10 pm by the time you reached the front of the line. I think it was the more population-dense areas that had the long waits. But we had a really long ballot which included two state constitutional amendments and three county bond issues, as well as senate, house of representatives, county board and school board.

    I voted early (1st day of voting here) and waited about 45 minutes to vote. Actually I do live in a red area of my state (although I actually think it's more Libertarian than anything else). My family lives in a very blue area of Ohio. Trumbull County Ohio is part of the deepest blue area of the north east part of the state. From friends I have in Ohio it seems the longest lines were in Columbus. (Franklin county which is a more purple area of the state). I also would be shocked if the lines were not bad in Cleveland (Cuyahoga County) that's just because the lines there are always bad. Of course there's also Cincinnati (Hamilton County) which is also a more purple county.
