The parking lot at the West County Area Library was packed, and the line stretched out to the parking lot.
It appears that many residents of Anne Arundel County chose Saturday to take advantage of early voting.
At the West County Area Library in Odenton, voters stretched more than 100 deep shortly after noon and parking spaces were scarce. Voters and library patrons were seen parking across the street at the M&T Bank and walking across Annapolis Road.
Long lines at polling places appeared to be the norm, with long lines reported at centers in Annapolis and places throughout Baltimore County.
