I remember before, back in 2012, the wait to vote was maybe an hour. In 2008, it was like 10 minutes. When I hear pundits talk about voter supression, I kinda wonder if this is what they mean: making voting prohibitively time consuming. Truth is, I can see people with medical issues or with children to deal with or busy lives in general not having the time to vote.
The historical reasons for holding the election on a Tuesday are obsolete. Today it has the effect of suppressing the vote of the working class, a group that is a majority POC (with a very large white minority). As soon as the Democrats get sufficient power again, they should change it to Saturday.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
