Edit of yesterday’s meme with accounted for non-voters
Last time I went to vote, it was for the 2016 election. I spent 3 hours in line, only for them to close the voting library with around 200 people ahead of me still waiting to vote. Our state does not allow early voting.
This is not legal; you have a right to vote. Call those numbers if you have an issue and don’t leave the line.
We don’t all have to be activists, but one day of the year we can spend a little extra time ensuring we remain a democracy.
That’s very strange that they closed the polls with people waiting. My understanding was you had a right to vote if you were in line.
8pm is 8pm, no exceptions.
Sad that I (and a few friends) got there and stood in line from around 5pm on, only to still be like 200 people back in line when they closed.
Cool story, too bad it’s inaccurate. In every state in the USA, if you are waiting in line when polls close you have the right to remain in line and cast your vote, regardless of how long it takes.
If you were told to go home because the polls were closed and they weren’t accepting further voters, then you were lied to.
