    I mean sure, I pretty much agree with you, but…

    There were so many fucking trumpers hanging out at the parking lot of my voting site last time, I don’t want to be (or for my family to) around that shit.

      A lot of states have places for early in-person voting. You might have to drive a bit of a distance, but it allows for in-person voting in a less chaotic environment.

        And thus we see how voter intimidation at polling places on election day is still effective even with early voting, since it skews towards people with cars/the means to get to the early-voting locations.

          I agree with you completely, but I wanted to make people aware that the option exists in case they are able to make use of it. A solution that helps some people but not others is better than a complete lack of a solution.

      IT was like that in 2016 for me.

      I shouldered my way through anyway. They are stupid, but they aint complete fucking morons. They know starting shit at an election venue is a good ticket to federal pound-them-in-the-ass prison.
