    The last day of early voting in North Carolina was Saturday, November 3, 2012 and polling places across Mecklenburg County had long lines of people waiting to vote. The line at the University City Regional Library (in this photo) wound out onto the street between CMC-University Hospital and the library with waits of 2-3 hours. The Rameses Temple on Beatties Ford Road was used as an overflow polling place because numbers at the Beatties Ford Road Library had been so large. John D. Simmons - jsimmons@charlotteobserver.com
