Apparently there was an election of some importance today?

Our election-day ritual has been to take the 10-minute walk to our polling place before work. We tend to get there around 30 minutes after the polls open. They give us a number when we walk in, and prior to today, my highest number was 11 - as in the 11th person to vote that day, which you'd expect 30 minutes after the polls open, right?

Today, I was number 61. There are two polling districts at our polling place, and the poll worker said that when they got there to open up, there were already 50 people in line.

Pundits that tell you that a long primary are damaging to the party are lying. I'd say it'd be bad if it goes all the way to the convention, but if it goes to June 3rd, that's not a bad thing. People are excited and heading to the polls. How is that hurting the party?
