Sadly enough, it is usually after the election that they become disqualified.

Here we have three options for voting: mail in ballot, early voting and the traditional stand in line on Nov. 4. I voted via mail in ballot.
The mail in ballot and early voting are both new options since the last presidential election. One of my co-workers told me that in the 2004 election, he waited three hours in line to vote.
I've never had a wait nearly that long. In 2004 I was on a different work schedule. I got off work at 3:15 PM and was at the polling place by 4 PM. I only had to wait a couple of minutes (the after work crowd had not come in yet).
This year I wouldn't be able to get to the polling place till about 5:30. However I bypassed all that with the mail-in. I'm signed up for permanent mail in ballot. I'd much rather pay the 59 cents in postage and fill in the ballot at my convienence rather than take my chances standing in line for an hour or two or longer.
Up in the city limits of Denver (I live in the suburbs) they have a much longer wait on voting. I can remember in the 2006 elections, hearing on the news that some people waited past midnight. Mail in ballots were an option then but most did not take advantage of it.
In the 1988 presidential election I remember having to stand in line for 2 hours with my dad. that was by far the longest I've ever waited.

I voted on "Election Day", just as I have done for almost 40 years on every election, be it a 'primary' ro a 'general' election, with the one exception of when I was unavoidable in a hospital, and actually, was not released quite quick enough to participate in one basically meaningless primary, last year, although had I actually been released in a timely manner, as I was supposed to be, I would have participated in that one, as well.
