In general, no. They assumed people would just wait until more polling stations opened up closer to election day (or on election day itself) to avoid waiting in these lines.
- justin66 6y agoOf course they did. It's all just an honest misunderstanding on the part of election officials, and voters hacking the election procedures and inconveniencing themselves deliberately for... reasons. None of that sounds completely crazy.
- bpt3 6y agoStanding in line for hours to vote weeks before election day when all evidence indicates that lines will be significantly shorter in the weeks ahead does sound crazy to me. I provided the most rational explanation I've received in my original comment above. I live in a high income area with a relatively high functioning local government run almost exclusively by liberal democrats, so I strongly question any claims that attempted voter suppression is the reason for the long lines in my area that have existed every day since early voting started.
