USA Today reports on the recent Pew Report on state performance in election administration:
Voters across the country waited less time in line to cast their ballots in 2012 than in 2008, a sign that states were doing a better job at running elections, says a report released Tuesday by the Pew Charitable Trust’s Election Initiatives.
…Average wait time at polls inched down about three minutes, from more than 14 minutes in 2008 to just over 11 minutes in 2012, according to Pew’s Elections Performance Index. South Carolina, which had waits of more than an hour in 2008, cut its time to about 25 minutes. Florida’s waiting time was the worst, and at 45 minutes it was far longer than the 29 minutes voters waited in 2008.
