On My Ray-dar election edition: Voters willing to wait to cast ballots

Tue., Nov. 6 - If you haven’t voted yet, know that as long as you are in line at your polling place by 7 p.m. you will be allowed to vote, according to Culpeper election officials. You may have a bit of a wait, however, if you are in the two biggest precincts: East Fairfax and West Fairfax.

It took me 43 minutes from the time I got in line until I walked out the door.
