Me: Ireland - Approximately 2 minutes until poll in hand is the longest.

I’ve been seeing long lines for the US elections even for early voting. Seems completely unnecessary.

      ditto when i moved to austin.

      anecdotally: the length of the lines correlate with the wealth of the voting district. i think that texas is like arizona & georgia in that when the lines are long; they’re REALLY long compared to the long lines i experienced in california, new york, & illinois; but the short line places always seemed to be much emptier on election day for some reason.

        For sure, my area isn’t necessarily more wealthy, but it is definitely more republican. Coincidence?
