Question:How will you use the time spent waiting in the voting line?

Because of the record turn-out expected at the polls today, long lines may be in your near future. It's still totally worth it, but how to pass all that time? It'll be great to talk to fellow voters, who are technically your neighbors, but I'm also planning on bring things to do with me in case it's hours.

I tend to let magazines pile up, and there never seems to be enough time to read through them. Reading mags as opposed to novels is probably a better choice for waiting in line, where there might be distractions.

What about you? Catch up on email on your mobile device? Make lists? Make phone calls?
