Comment by Kenny on November 9, 2012 at 7:56am: Despite long line in Rio Rancho or maybe because of long lines in Rio Rancho? Many people, seeing the long line might just keep going and not vote. Two hours in line is simply not possible for some people.

In Bernalillo County, we spent about 5 min in line and were out of there in 15 minutes.
