These are just polls, so vote!

Hopefully these trends will inspire people in states that have been consistently red that a flip this election is possible!

Your voting experience really needs an upgrade.

We have a holiday to go vote - well, 3 hours off - and our setup is so simple that we have polling stations everywhere. When we get there it’s usually a 5-minute process. The whole thing is over by that night.

This whole “standing in line for hours” thing is just weird, y’all.

Agreed.

My polling station is great, I’m in and out in 15 minutes. I work from home, and in the past when I didn’t, I just used mail in voting.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have those options.

It’s usually a 5 minute process in TX too, people just wait until the very last minute to cast a vote.

We have had a 2 week voting period since 1980, we were actually the first state to allow an early voting period. The polls are Aldo legally required to be open at least 9 hours the first week and at least 12 hours the second week and final day of voting. If there’s even a line during the first 2 weeks, it’s 10 minutes max. People just drag their feet and then complain to everyone else, which keeps people from voting.
