Jesus, look at those early voting lines! What is wrong with these people?

[Whateverist]

Why does anyone vote in anyway other than by mail?  Even if you didn't send it in the mail early you can always drop it off at your polling place without standing through some grueling line.  This year I used the early drop off box to turn it in.  I see no reason to trust the US Snailmail to process it without shredding or losing it.  

Are there some states which don't provide for voting by mail?  Why does anyone put themselves through that?

I don't know anything about mail voting but I early voted and I parked up front, walked right in, voted, and was out of there in maybe ten minutes (five of it was me going over all my votes cause I voted for all 15 positions that I could in my local area)

I just wondered why you want jesus to look at the early voting lines??

He's sorta useless on every level.  



just sayin.

There are 13 states that have no form of early voting.

I admit, I like going into the booth, but I mailed mine in, feeling like the lines would be uncharacteristically nightmarish. Usually I have no wait, and spend 15 minutes (in the future, probably even less, since I know about SDVote.org and BallotPedia now).

Many states don't allow it.

In my last state, Massachusetts, they forbid absentee voting for any reason other than being physically unable to get to the polls. And yes, it's a felony to do so and be able-bodied.

Why? Because fuck democracy, that's why. I waited 3 hrs in line to vote in 2012 in freezing temperatures at the largest, oldest public library in the country because these assholes can't be bothered to count.

Actually it is easier for the election commissions if they don't have to count everything at once.

Did not know that.  Such a shame that one party depends for its viability upon impeding the election process.  Sadder still the the system is open to such a thing.

Well thank you for the sacrifice and service it cost you to provide your participation.  It is very much appreciated.

Makes sense but I suspect he meant because they don't provide sufficient access to vote for everyone who needs it.
