(1,214 posts)1. I don't understand why the lines have to be so long..
Why can't the provide more locations or polls so that people don't have to wait four and five hours. I think that's a form of voter suppression.

Hope they all perservere and are not put off by the wait. It's a good problem to have I suppose...

I picked last Sunday am and was in and out in 15 minutes because I had already studied a sample ballot
I feel bad for people waiting in long lines, but a little planning would avoid that and so would a back up absentee ballot
