2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIn one precinct in NH the line to register to vote for the first time almost
wraps around the building. That is not to just to vote, but to register to vote. At another precinct they sent state police way out to the highway to find the start of the traffic jam many miles away and mark it so those people can get in to vote, no matter what time they get there.
