All I said was I didn't mind waiting, and it didn't affect how I voted in the following election. I do not think it is an insurmountable burden to wait 45 minutes. I waited for two hours and still managed not to be "suppressed". If a stupid old conservative like me can do it, surely the smarter (so they say), elitist liberals can do as well.

Just be honest with us and most of all yourself. What you really want is for it to be "easy". If there is even a hint at there being any amount of "work" involved (like taking a little time), can't have that. You're defending laziness, nothing more.

In the 2004 election I waited 50 minutes to vote, but I am not disabled. One potential voter told me she was not able to vote in the '04 election because her husband was in poor health and unable to wait outside in the rain for more than a few minutes. Other potential voters stayed away from the polls because of the long lines in Murrysville. The Republican Party runs Murrysville and they have too few voting booths to support a Presidential election because they understand more Democratic votes are suppressed than Republican votes. It is the height of callousness and indifference to the plight of others to support the Republican Party on this issue.

I waited for two hours and still managed not to be "suppressed".

You are not handicapped or in poor health are you?
