The Freedom to Vote Act could dramatically change U.S. elections, from expanding early voting and voter registration to reforming campaign finance and tackling gerrymandering. But is it a necessary step to protect voting rights, or does it give too much power to the federal government? This article breaks down the key provisions and the heated debate surrounding the bill.

Doesn’t early voting make the line shorter and give you more flexibility in polling location? (I don’t actually know, I’ve not voted early before)
In general I’m sure it helps wait times but I’ve seen there be waves of voters at polling places. People may try to go during lunch or just after work so some times of day can have a really long line. I’ve done it before where I’ve just driven by, seen 50 people waiting in the hot sun, and I came back later. That was in elections long gone where I wasn’t genuinely freaked out about the wrong side winning. This year I’m not turning around and I’ll wait hours to cast my vote if that’s what it takes.
