I have voted in every election since 1976. I’ve never understood why getting to the polling place on election day was such a burden. I always managed to find some time to get there during the twelve hours the polls were opened. I’ve lived in cities, so the polling places have never been more than a couple minutes’ walk from my house. They have done everything possible (outside of Sanders’ proposal and internet voting) to make it easier for people to vote. Still, lots of people can’t manage to get off their duffs and exercise their right. By my way of thinking, people who don’t care enough to take advantage of the accomodations that are already there shouldn’t be voting anyway.
I assume you've never been responsible to fix something when it blew up in the plant. Or given a 2 day notice to spend 10 weeks working in another state to help fix construction problems in the field.
Or been a surgeon, offshore drill rig operator, or one of many jobs that have significant and changing time commitments beyond 9-5.
