- TedDoesntTalk 6y ago> I've never had to queue to vote In live and vote in the US. Never waited in a queue. Just dropped off my ballot at a local ballot box. Not sure why the people in the article can’t do that, but I’ve lived in 4 states and all of them had ballot boxes.
- kawfey 6y agoMany states don't have ballot boxes, and a LOT of people are distrusting of mail-in and absentee voting which forces them to vote in person.
- Macha 6y agoIn Ireland we don't have mandatory voting but we still provision polling stations to handle the possibility of all voters actually voting. The result is when I lived in a high turnout area, I once had to queue 10 minutes to vote when I had to do it during lunch time, and now I live in a low turnout area 10 minutes is the time from leaving my house to being back having voted in between.
- arethuza 6y agoI've voted in the centre of cities and in rural areas in Scotland for ~35 years and I've literally never had to queue - I usually vote in the early evening as well which I would have thought was a fairly popular time.
