Agreed, and that's not acceptable, but no group is experiencing wait times of several hours each election, which seems to be the conclusion drawn by many readers of the BBC article.
- specialist 6y agoThere is so much evidence that people are denied the opportunity to vote. I'm still pissed off about blacks being turned away in Ohio 2004. They literally just closed and locked the doors. Telling the 1,000s of voters standing in the cold rain for hours to piss off. To cite one example. And it keeps happening.
- bpt3 6y agoYes, I haven't seen a single person saying that voting in the US is perfect or that no voter suppression takes place. What I am saying (and others are as well) is that the BBC article seems to be mischaracterising/misunderstanding what is happening with respect to the very long lines for in-person early voting in this specific case.
- specialist 6y agoOk. We need a "Yes, and..." way to respond to issues, acknowledging the problem while vetting specific reports. Because I admit I read your responses as denial or concern trolling. Peace.
