I am shocked at how long the lines are in many places in the US.
Don't the people have to go to work or school at some point ?
Why not assign every voter to a certain precinct in which they HAVE to vote and not crowd single precincts. Also, for f**ks sake, simply create more precincts.
I have never seen a precinct here in Austria where people wait more than 5 minutes.
They are assigned to precincts they have to vote in.
I was disenfranchised back in the 2014 primary because we didn't have a vehicle and our ride took us to the wrong place just an hour before she had to take my mom to work so there was no time to go to the right place. This was despite my pleading with them that they were going to the wrong place.
They did everything they could to get us out of the voting place without voting and only after we insisted on voting, they gave us provisional ballots and we had to list the reason for why we couldn't get to the right polling place. They basically told us that there was very little chance it would be counted.
