What's this?

Side note, stopped by the VB municipal center again to maybe vote

if the line wasn't too long. Didn't look too bad so I got out of the car washed around to where I thought the back was. Turns out I couldn't see where it ended and it actually extended another 2 or 3 blocks down the road and around a corner. Looks like hours of wait. Wtf. Maybe one of these days I'll get out there early enough to only have to stand an hour at most. This is insane.
