FWIW, here's a little data set I collected yesterday while working as an
election judge in a precinct in Maryland:

End  DEM  REP  IND  LIB  OTH
8:00  40   12    7    1    0
9:00  30    7    3    0    0
10:00 35   13    6    0    0
11:00 31   10    8    0    0
12:00 23    4    2    0    0
1:00  23    5    0    0    0
2:00  20    8    1    0    0
3:00  24    5    6    0    0
4:00  15    6    4    0    0
5:00  24    8    3    0    0
6:00  24   10    4    0    1
7:00  35    7    6    0    0
8:00  13    6    3    0    0

'End' is time the hourly tallies closed; polls were open from 7:00am to
8:00pm. Other columns are the numbers of DEMocrate, REPublican,
INDependent (including unaffiliated), LIBertarian and OTHer (such as
Green) party members voting. Total registered voters in precinct was
769.

Interesting exercises might include tabulating the marginal totals and
determining if Democrats or Republicans vote earlier or later.

Hope this is enjoyable or useful.
