Randall Jeppesen reporting People at work today in Provo are talking about last night's election. Their main conversation piece isn't about the winners, it's about how horrible the voting lines were.

Nancy McLain and Jay Sevison both went to different polling places last night, but they had a similar, not-so-nice experience.

"I stayed in line for two hours and 40 minutes," McLain said. "One book for the three districts and five voting machines--and only two of them were in use."

"It was shocking," Sevinson said. "Literally, the line stretched through the entire school building."

Both say after hours of waiting, many people just left without voting. They say this messy election process is going to keep voters from turning out next time.
