I saw some blurb that there was only one polling station in a county of over 4 million people. No wonder the lines are 10 hours.What I can't figure is that it is a very wealthy oil state and many of the folks working at polling stations are volunteers and the polling places are regular already built buildings. So it doesn't cost that much to run these voting stations.
In my town of Nanaimo, BC there are 90,000 people - last election there were 13 polling places and people still complain there weren't enough. It took less than 15 minutes to vote.
So extrapolating this to the county in (I believe Texas) there should be 578 polling stations in that one county alone to equal my little town.
And then people complain if you vote by mail? 1 station for 4 million 10 hour waits - of course people vote by mail or drop it in a drop box.
