If the ballot is long, people should have a copy of the ballot to study before they get to the voting booth. If the line is too long, there should be more machines or open spaces to vote. There are simple ways this problem could be fixed, if they wanted to fix it. It appears to be intentional and can be defined as nothing more than voter suppression. After the last two elections, the voters should not have to go thru this experience again. It makes our country look like Nicaragua or some third-world country in Africa. It simply is not acceptable.

Oh wait, just gave the reasons why the GOP in it's current incarnation would never allow it. To be fair, Tamany Hall would not either.
