- AnimalMuppet 11y agoIn my area, polls are open from 9 AM (or maybe earlier - I'm not a morning person) to 9 PM. No matter what your shift, you should be able to find a time to get there without having to take off work.

- AnimalMuppet 11y agoPeople work on Saturday, too. Less, it's true, but still enough that you can't disenfranchise them.
