All Things Politics Thread

This from the party of John F Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Bill Clinton?   The difference here is if he is guilty of stealing $280,000, the Republicans will get rid of him.  You can sleep with a Chinese spy and the Democrats will look the other way. 
Your son can even make millions per year off of another country and you get a cut whilst you are the Vice President of the United States and Democrats will look the other way. Or your brother can…….Oh never mind it would take all day laying these out but you get the idea. 

 
Nah, the ballot places are open plenty long enough for everyone that is responsible and really wants to vote can. 
The point is not that they are not open long enough.  It's that there aren't enough of them, hence the long lines.  If there were enough polling places then there wouldn't be long lines, that's common sense.

Let me give you a practical example that you may understand.  Given a grocery store with 12 checkout lines.  If the manager only opens 1 checkout line the whole day, guess what he'll have during rush hours?  How does the manager solve this issue?  Pretend you're the manager and answer the questions.

That’s easy, we open more lines. I’m not sure it’s the same thing though. If it’s apples to apples then we should open more. Is there a set rate of ballot places per capita of actual voters 

 
I have voted early for most of my life. I have never waited more than a few minutes in a voting line. If I was having to wait in line on election, I would vote early. What’s going to be the excuse for not voting early?

 
I’ve never had to wait more than a few minutes either, I live in a small town though. I think those that really care about voting will find a way to cast their vote. It does seem like coming up with excuses and blaming others for alleged voting issues is easier for some than putting for the effort to just go vote.

The problem statement is that there are long lines.  You'll have to do your own research on the ballot places/registered voters.  In any case, your question is irrelevant to the solution of the problem.  Long lines exist whether that stat is met or not.  In other words the problem exists in either case.  So you still have to solve the problem.

 
If I know the polls close——let’s say at 7——I’m not going to show up at 5 till 7 and get pissed off because they don’t keep the poll open late and accommodate me voting. Early voting starts like what??? Two or three weeks before Election Day??? So find a way to vote without the election having to change the rules. It’s really not that hard. Show a photo ID and vote one time. None of these rules are for or against any person’s race, religion, or any other reason.
