7:35 a.m.: Early voting during the lunch hour Friday at the Jan Platt Regional Library in South Tampa took about an hour.

But this morning, the line is considerably shorter, and people are popping out of the voting booths in about a half-hour.

For Dorothy Bradley, 77, of Port Tampa, the wait is pointless.

The Democrat arrived about 6:30 a.m. - only to learn about 7:30 a.m. that she is at the wrong voting location and needs to go back to Port Tampa.

She doesn't want to say what it feels like to know her time was wasted.

"I came here several times [during early voting], but the line was so long," she said.

She plans to go back to Port Tampa and vote today.

Asked which race is most important to her, she said, "All of them."
