Last time I went to vote, it was for the 2016 election. I spent 3 hours in line, only for them to close the voting library with around 200 people ahead of me still waiting to vote. Our state does not allow early voting.
Tell that to the ~200 people that didn’t get to vote that evening. Hell, everyone was standing in the rain waiting in line to vote when they closed, and everyone waiting outside was like what the fuck?!
Not voting means you’re fine if either of the two major candidates win. Inaction is also a choice with consequences that can have decades of impact.

That’s very strange that they closed the polls with people waiting. My understanding was you had a right to vote if you were in line.
Because it’s a made up story bro.
Fuck you, I’m telling the truth. They locked the doors to the library at 8pm and told everyone still waiting outside in the rain to go home.
8pm is 8pm, no exceptions.
Sad that I (and a few friends) got there and stood in line from around 5pm on, only to still be like 200 people back in line when they closed.
Cool story, too bad it’s inaccurate. In every state in the USA, if you are waiting in line when polls close you have the right to remain in line and cast your vote, regardless of how long it takes.
If you were told to go home because the polls were closed and they weren’t accepting further voters, then you were lied to.

This is not legal; you have a right to vote. Call those numbers if you have an issue and don’t leave the line.
We don’t all have to be activists, but one day of the year we can spend a little extra time ensuring we remain a democracy.
