Suffolk voters say they had an easy time casting their ballots this Election Day.
Many returned to in-person voting this year after using absentee ballots in 2020.
They say they trusted this process more because it was more hands-on.
Those who did vote in 2020 say it was chaotic compared to this year.
"It was a zoo...They had trouble with the machines last year so it took 45 minutes after it started before we could even get in," says Dix Hills resident Jay Factor. "But today? Today went smooth."
Security guards at a polling site in Dix Hills say there was a slow flow of voters with people in and out for no more than 10 minutes.
Voters also say they felt safe inside and almost everyone wore a mask.
