Just another reason to not bother voting. I don't get how I can register a new account on a completely new tax website and file my taxes online in like 5 minute

  I take it then you don't live in Oregon or other state with postal voting, or no-excuse absentee voting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_voting_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_voting_in_the_United_St... > As of 2022, eight states – California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, and Washington – allow all elections to be conducted by mail. Five of these states – Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, and Washington – hold elections "almost entirely by mail."[18] Postal voting is an option in 33 states and the District of Columbia. But it sounds like you haven't voted for a long time, so might not even if your state offers an alternative. My voting in person has never taken hours, but I suspect that's because I've not lived in one of the areas where the government was attempting to suppress the vote by underfunding voting opportunities ("those who waited the longest tended to live in urban areas and were disproportionately African American and Latino" - https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/long-voting-lines-explained https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/long... ).
