Because of how eager people are to vote this year, the lines on the first day of early voting seem pretty long. I live in a big city so I would like to avoid a long wait if I can. So do the lines get shorter after the first few days?

When I went to vote a week after early voting opened up, I walked straight in, showed my ID, verified they had the right person (me), picked up a pen and ballot, filled it in, fed it into the scanner. Less than 10 minutes, much of which was filling in the boxes.
But Fairfax County had long lines at the county complex on opening day.
