AOC blasts long lines at NYC polling stations as 'voter suppression' and waits TWO HOURS to cast her ballot in the Bronx
UK Daily Mail ^ | October 26, 2020 | James Gordon

Bronx Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized long lines she found while visiting a polling site in the borough on Sunday morning to cast her own vote.

Voters had been waiting in line for several hours when the congresswoman showed up.

'There is no place in the United States of America where two-, three-, four-hour waits to vote is acceptable,' the Democrat said outside the site in Parkchester.

AOC acts like a petulant child and lacks critical thinking and reasoning skills. My wife and I voted on Saturday in our town in Western NY. The line wrapped around a large parking lot and it took 2 hrs to vote. I was impressed with the demeanor of our neighbors. We had 3 elderly ladies with walkers and lawn chairs. We put them all at the head of the line. People chatted with one another and it was pleasant as it could be with cloudy skies and a cold breeze. I was cold in a long sleeve shirt and a windbreaker. I felt sorry for the guy in shorts and a T-shirt...

Its up to the States and the municipalities to set up the voting. AOC should complain to Cuomo and DeBlasio.

BTW, we were able to vote Sunday on Cape Cod. We walked in... one person was ahead of us.

Best of all, on the way back, we ran into a street corner Trump rally, a pleasant surprise in liberal Massachusetts!

Could they be Trump voters who have just “HAD ENOUGH”?

In Texas, from the time I got into a 5-person line, got my ballot, voted on one of over twenty machines, deposited my ballot in the ballot box, and I was thanked for voting and shown the exit door, it was five minutes.

I voted last Wednesday here in Columbus, GA. There was less than 20 people in line and they had 60 voting machines. Took less than 10 minutes to fill out the voter sign in sheet, vote, check it and place the paper ballot in the box. This was one of several early voting sites available.

Hey AOC maybe the lines are slow because your voters can’t read the ballots.

Here in Georgia IF you are 75 years or older or have a disability, you can skip to the front of the line.

I wonder if this nitwit waited the 2 hours in comfort in her chauffeured sedan with the heater on.

I just put in my old address which is 5-10 minutes from Parkchester. The hours to vote for early voting this week are so different every day. M 7-3, T 12-8, W 12-8, Th 10-6,F 10-6, Sa 10-4 and Su 10-4.

Why all the variation? Why not 10-6 every day or something similar???

I’m surprised the nitwit didn’t pull the “do you know who I am card” and go right to the front as if they were expecting her.
