Long line, patient folk in Davis Square

I probably managed to hit the absolute morning peak of voting at the Dilboy VFW in Davis Square. I got in line at 8 and left at 9:30, although the line was about half as long by the time I left. I'd peg the average age of voters in line at about 30 to 35: lots of Davis Square yuppies (like myself) on their way to work. (I had no idea the neighborhood had gentrified this much.)

The bottleneck was that there was only a single print volume listing voters' names and addresses, and every voter had to be checked in using that single book. But no one seemed too irritated: I didn't see anyway leave the line early once they'd hopped in it.
