It seems like the only complaints that I'm hearing about the lines and the wait are coming from Dems. I got to believe that some Repugs were inconvenience as well. Are any of them complaining?

Could it be?

(19,458 posts)YOu have to understand that the disenfranchisement is somewhat intentional by the republicans in charge, and some is economic. We need standardized voting procedures and equipment.
republicans are not standing in line for 8 hours to vote.

(7,290 posts)But if you're talking about Florida, I recommend that you check out the party affiliation of the Supervisors of Election in the three big counties that have had problems with long lines, specificallly, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach County and Broward County.
No one seems to want to hold them accountable, when it was up to them to either have enough polling places open or heavily advertise and advocate for mail-in voting.
Everyone responsible needs to be held accountable, regardless of party.

(21,577 posts)you still only wait 5 minutes. that is why the voting system has remained the way it is and early voting is fought so hard. the more dems you close the polls on or just make give up, the better chance the rethugs have to win.
