I dread the long line since I’ve been sick and dizzy while standing up for the past few days but I’ll go vote anyway. Your point is well taken doctortoon.
doctortoon, while I agree wholeheartedly with your comment about people complaining about long voting lines but will wait two hours for a 2-minute roller coaster ride, please keep in mind that for people with certain health conditions, such as diabetes, blood pressure problems, and pregnancy ( just to name a few), a long wait in line can go from aggravating and annoying to dangerous..just a thought.
hcrobin85, I have degenerative knee disease in both knees and am a diabetic and I still stood in line for well over 2 1/2 hrs. When it comes to what is really important to you in life you make sacrifices.
In VA, elderly and disabled could have curbside voting. Waited an hour first thing, and nowhere close so left to go to work. Went back at lunch and no line. I think everyone was too literal about voting early. Hope they weren’t the same about voting often.
I worked the election…we had people sitting in their cars waiting when we got there to set up, an hour before we could even open the polls. So we had massive lines, and then just a steady low tide the rest of the day. And only two people came in the last 15 minutes of the day. So, yeah…I do think people took the “vote early” thing quite seriously.
For those with severe health problems, absentee voting is a really good option.

If they could see this, they’d probably gag.

I also worked the polls. A fifteen-hour day. That’s why I’m late with my postings.
