Election Day 2012: Wallingford

Midday Update from our Patch Readers at the polls in Wallingford:

John Silvestri: Just went to Parker Farms. No line. In and out in 5 minutes.

Kathleen Hunter: Not bad at 10 AM at Stevens, but I still don't fully understand why MYB isn't my location considering it is SO much closer (as in a 5minute walk). But their rice krispy squares were great.

Tessa Pilkerton: Cook Hill School in and out 5 minutes. No bake sale or anything though :(
