So they changed from neighborhood voting places to BIG ones elsewhere,

and what happened? The mess we saw yesterday. Both in CA and TX.

Some BAD decision-making.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

If you can't get all voters through, with paper ballots, and all ballots counted overnight, your precinct is too big. Voting is a serious neighborhood affair.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

how much population would you guess a precinct (polling place) can process?
for a large turnout .. and the system you propose?

My guess .. anything much over 5-6 thousand (assuming a 40% turnout of that number) would be be overwhelming the system. And that may be way too optimistic?
