It doesn’t even matter who you vote for, but having to wait in line for as much as 4 to 7 hours to excersize your duty as a citizen to vote, when we are supposed to be the leader of the free world/poster boy for Democracy is simply disconcerning.

I’d be furious if there was such an issue locally, luckily however we aren’t a swing state so such limitations wont occur.

The country wonders why our voting percentage from eligible voters is around 50% and how to increase the number, but things such as this arent helping one bit.

It gets even better… there were bomb threats called in causing voting to shut down while bomb squad detoned suspicious items.
