People with jobs who couldn't afford to miss hours of work, threatened with being fired, or on election day standing in line and having the polls close. Also the police with their blockades in African American neighborhoods...harder to do two weeks straight than on just election day. Early voting, including two Saturdays, has been wonderful, at least for us and our Democratic base in FL.
