For some people it’s a genuine hardship or impossibility to wait hours
“Genuine hardship”? People fucking died for this right. During the Civil Rights Movement people in Montgomery AL voluntarily walked to work for a year instead of taking the bus. And that was just for a different seat!

Do you think walking to work in the Alabama summer was a hardship? They fucking did it on purpose to make a point. All you have to do is bring a chair, some food and drinks, and a phone. The longer you wait, the bigger point you make.
They consider it a “hardship” to wait a few minutes to an hour to vote, all while these same idiots would have camped out overnight a few years ago to be the first to get an iPhone or Playstation. Boo-fucken-hoo people in this country aren’t willing to lift a finger to help themselves, but they are the first to go out in the streets and protest the day after an election if Trump or DeSatan won again. Somehow there is no time and it a massive “hardship” to vote when it counts, but they sure find the time after the damage has been done.
Sometimes people have to wait multiple hours to vote which might lead to them not being able to get to their jobs or their children in time. In elections where I’m sure a lot of them feel like their votes won’t make a difference. I suggest one tries to imagine why people could be impacted differently than oneself in certain situations before finding reasons to criticize them.
It isn’t taking hours to vote for a governor election. I was in and out in less than 3 minutes. My county still flipped DeSantis but we were close. DeSantis seems unpopular now, but when he won Florida last election he painted the whole state red. Even typically blue counties like Palm Beach went red. He seemed untouchable.
I get almost aroused seeing him fail so hard.
