I've never encountered any issues or significant lines in Michigan, or in Florida while I lived and voted there. That said, I do have a schedule that allows me to vote during the slower parts of the day, and I have always voted in areas that seem to have their crap together when it comes to poling stations.
Voting in Sarasota, Florida felt like a military drill run by 80 year old retired nuns. I voted there for the 2004 Bush/Kerry election and there were literally twice as many poll workers as there were voters, and no line whatsoever.
I see the lame duck sessions as a double edged sword. On one side they allow lawmakers to squeak through bills that would have been difficult to pass due to the political backlash they may draw. And on the other side they allow law makers to squeak through bills that would have been difficult due to the political backlash they may have drawn [[Yes, I intended to state the same thing twice). Lame duck sessions can be some of the most productive [[Or sometimes the only productive) weeks in the capital, but there is a dark side to the fact that some of those elected won't be here to feel the consequences of their vote.
