So what did you do in Texas before there was early voting? Did many thousands who wanted to vote and who were eligible to vote not get to vote because of impossibly long lines? Don't think that happened very often, and I don't think that was the main impetus for early voting to be introduced.
I realize that you have had a lot of population growth in Texas recently, but one of the obvious solutions to the problems of long lines on Election Day would be to increase the number of polling stations and polling personnel.
“So what did you do in Texas before there was early voting?”
For one, I didn’t get to vote. People get off work and show up after that and the lines were so long, I couldn’t stand there anymore. If you have any kind of problem standing for hours, you can’t do it.
You can’t open more voting places on voting day because the law is each precinct has one election judge so there is one voting place in each precinct.
The Texas Election Code determines how voting is accomplished in Texas - you need to read it before making up your own election rules.
