    Last time I went to vote, it was for the 2016 election. And you better bet your ass I wasn’t gonna vote for the orange man then either.

    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. Biggest waste of my time ever.

    And no, our state does not allow early voting.

      It’s reprehensible that they closed the polling place.

      But three hours is a small, tiny price to pay to participate in democracy and potentially help tons of minorites and at risk folks avoid another trump term.

        With around 200 people ahead of me? It would have taken way more than 3 hours to even have a chance to get in the door.

          I acknowledged the issue with them closing the polls. But if you had gotten in, the time would not have been a waste. You dont know you won’t get in this time.

            I’m a live-in caretaker for an elderly man that has an out of state doctor’s appointment on the 5th, I won’t even be in the state that day.

            My hands are tied any which way you look at it.

              You couldn’t apply for an absentee ballot? Even in Mississippi you have an ironclad reason that you cannot be present on election day.
