two-and-a-half hours...
Can anybody explain to me why many districts have voters popping in and out of the voting booths in 10 minutes or less, but election after election our district has people waiting in line for hours?
We used to vote at a large church down the street, and spent three to four hours in line. Our district was split, and so today we only stood in line for two-and-a-half hours. Most of it outside. With occassional spitting rain. At least it was an autumn chill, not a wintery breeze.
Is there any legitimate reason for this stupidity? (meaning the inadequate resources in some areas, not the standing in line waiting)
