Yeah, well, it's hard to vote in the Democratic primary if you're not a Democrat!

Dumbasses.

What if you need to pick up a kid from daycare? What if you just are not physically able to stand in line for several hours?

All of these horrendously long lines should NEVER happen. And it does, election after election, often in the very same precincts.

Arizona had early voting, and apparently not enough citizens voted early. But a bunch of states only vote on election day itself.

I'm hugely in favor of early voting, and I live in a state, NM, that does a good job with it.

we have to tell people to stay in line and vote. That's how we win elections.

I live in a state where the Voting Rights Act just got totally ripped from us.

It's not going to hurt Hillary to be generous of spirit. The "math" has got this. I'm not worried.

Let everyone vote.
