Voters leaving without voting because of poor logistics is very bad and often has become a scheme to negate certain voting blocks. It is a fact that low voter turnout hurts most Republican candidates. If the opposition knows certain polling places are historically Republican, they may try to frustrate and discourage voters in that area. If nothing else, if you see a problem with your polling place, call your local headquarters - you need to be outside the immediate polling place to make the call - and let them know what is going on.
This side of the state is historically Republican. How do you find the number to call and not having a cell phone how do stand outside the polling place and call? I have complained to the works over the years, but nothing changes. I saw several leave the line before voting during the 2004 election.
