>I just hope that everyone who has this realization that the long line voting situation at Diversity Thrift today is one that a solid swath of people have to deal with every single time they want to vote on something.

Indeed, this is why weeks-long early voting windows and giving folks ample time to go out when everyone else isn't trying to do that same exact thing is incredibly convenient.

Every early voting experience in Richmond and Henrico (and before I moved to VA, Broward County, FL) has often been me walking right up to the door, getting my ballot, voting and scanning it, and collecting my sticker in less than 10 minutes tops. No long lines, no frustration, no waiting in the sun or rain or cold.

It boggles my mind that there's a sizable subset of the electorate who believe voting should only take place on one single day and that's what's best for democracy.
