After Action Report: Took 2 hrs 20 minutes to vote. Plenty of voting machines sitting idle.. Hang up was only 4 check,-in machines. Just poor planning. All machines worked smoothly. Pity the candidates stuck on the supplemental ("more") screens though–includes Biden and Bernie. https://t.co/9R2Hd1wuJJ

Of course I haven't written a screenplay. But I will have by the time I get to the front of this line. https://t.co/OuRa7P7Yqq

Whether or not it was intended to drive voters to use harvesters, it will have that effect. Can people with jobs and kids and families afford to wait 3 hours to vote? https://t.co/otDIWUPAdV

You'd think I could at least sell my screenplay in this line, but no. These are not the producers. They probably have their own special polling place. https://t.co/GZRikSOj7e

No. I think I'm going to get to the front of the line and they'll say "There are no potatoes." https://t.co/ZdFy01FGdg

It's always the most left wing cadres who stay to the end of the meeting — so you'd think a 3 hour wait to vote would help Sanders…. https://t.co/9R2Hd1wuJJ

At least we're not worried about forcing large numbers of people to congregate together lest they transmit some kind of dangerous virus (by, say, all touching the same voting machine screen). https://t.co/9R2Hd1wuJJ

Voters are coming out cursing – not a good sign. One woman said she'd been here since 1:30. It was 4:30. https://t.co/9R2Hd1wuJJ

Hey @AlexPadilla4CA this is kind of a debacle. 2 to 3 hour wait, maybe more. It's on you. Campaigns will be pissed off too. https://t.co/GZRikT5TYM

A would be voter just came out and said it takes 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours to get through the line. "Not worth it!" he says and leaves. A couple of people join him but most stay. https://t.co/mMYEdu1ck8

They've eliminated precincts and substituted Voting Centers. Here's *part* of the line at my handy convenient CA voting center at 4:20 on election day. Used to take 5 min. Restoring sense of community ! pic.twitter.com/1R4p94ljPa

Maybe the short 48 hour window is just right for Biden. Prolonged exposure is not his friend! 47 hours would be even better. https://t.co/NAtwRYidmH

To all those who've been suggesting that @RealDonaldTrump could have been beaten in 2016 if only he hadn't faced a divided field of regulars — which GOP candidate was going to beat him, exactly (if only everyone else dropped out)? Jeb? Cruz? Rubio? Kasich?

Me: At last the @NYTimes has someone for the Carr column who's willing to write something that might annoy @NYTimes editors.
Me II: He's telling them they're too good. (Because they hired him.)
Me: Oh, right. Good point. He's softening them up! That's it.https://t.co/V5SQxCnFy8— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) March 3, 2020
