i would be astounded if voting was as quick here as you have in podunk PA, Westmoreland Co. like i said, we have a ZILLION diff languages being spoken by voters. There was a pollworker who kept going up and down the hall of the elementary school where we vote telling people to take their ID OUT now, don’t wait until you get up there to pull it out of your purse, wallet, pocket etc. that that was creating a hold up. I saw two hispanic women at the table where they check you off with some piece of paper that they were analyzing to see if it was sufficient for proof of residency i guess. they don’t let you in the room, giving a HIPAA-like distance, so i couldn’t hear exactly what the problem was. But you don’t have ANY of that, you have homogenous population who have been voting in that spot for the last millenium, so of course it’s streamlined.

Aren’t the ballots in English? If people are too ignorant, regardless of language, to show an ID, sign a book and punch some buttons, then maybe they should reconsider voting. How do these people manage to buy milk in the grocery store?

You seem to be missing my larger point - that a 90 minute wait means the state has not provided enough voting machines/locations for the size of the population.
