I’m a leftist in a red area. I waited 5 minutes to vote. There were dozens of voting booths, just as many volunteer workers, and it’s a relatively unpopulated area. The only reason I even had to wait was because two or three people ahead of me there was an argument about needing ID. There were also three or four voting locations within a 15 minute drive.
My buddy lives downtown. The entire city only had a few voting locations. It was a two hour wait, for like six voting booths. It was also outside of downtown proper, and was a 30 minute walk away from the nearest rail line.
They know that people won’t want to wait longer than their lunch break. They know that people in the city don’t have cars, and will rely on the train to get where they’re going. Yeah, voter suppression is in full swing.
