Huh, where I live (Zürich), voting by mail has been a thing since before I can remember, but voting at the urn has also been frictionless every time. I’ve never had to wait for more than 30s after getting to the municipal office and it also only takes about 30s. These waiting times and laws are insane you’re telling me about sound insane. Voting at the booth doesn’t have to be this horrible.
Unfortunately, the horribleness here is largely intentional. E.g. Texas Republicans just closed 92 voting locations in one of their largest counties (Tarrant). That’s almost 30% of the total.
One of our parties consistently tries to make voting less accessible - and they’re the party in power right now
