When I was a student in Atlanta - no car, miserable public transit, before Uber and Lyft - my polling place was a small government office in a suburb halfway across the county, which is a narrow strip from one edge of the ATL metropolitan area to the other, neatly bisecting the most densely populated parts of the city. It took me nearly three hours to get out there from campus in the middle of midtown, I waited in line for another hour, they took another half-hour to find my registration, and it took me four hours to get back to my dorm. I had to skip several lectures and I'm lucky that none of my professors scheduled actual exams that day.
