    Please prove who completed the form, or who sent it without visual or physical verification.

    Nope. Why do you want to open the door for that possibility? Why are you so against people having to verify who they are in person? Why not promote more polling places to complete this legitimate action? Instead, complaining seems to be your preference, and reducing the safeguards first and foremost. Why?

    When you are presented with multiple ways to help people correct a situation you perceive as being detrimental to an important process, and all you do is stamp your foot and what change to suit exactly what percentage of the population? Instead of BEING the change, you complain. Apparently, you do nothing otherwise to help work around it, or become someone who actually wants to see general change happen. You want everyone else to do it. That doesn't make you look very good, I'm sorry to say.

    Please quote me where I said that. Be specific. Then provide statistics from a reliable source that actually supports your assertion.

    You really are obtuse. Again, please quote where I said I didn't want the situation to improve. Mailing ballots is not the answer. I gave numerous suggestions on how to work with the current situation, and promote change. You want it all changed to suit exactly how many people? And instead of actually assisting these people, all you do is complain and stamp your foot.

    If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

    I won't repeat my point again. If you don't get it, you don't get it.

    Enjoy your short wait time, while others stand in the rain for 10 hours.

    Some people......

    Have a nice day.

    So, no response, just complaining. Got it!

    Its not local canvassing boards. In 2013 the Supreme Court struck down a law which required DOJ approval for States to shut down polling places, and since then thousands of polling places have been shut down to a point where many counties have only one place per county, and also the voting time has been shortened, which can mean that people standing in live don't get to cast a vote at all. Arizona, for example, shut down 1 in every 5 places, and Texas and Georgia were not too far behind. Those 3 States shut down over 1000 polling places right after the Supreme Court ruling.

    With expanded mail-in voting this problem would become irrelevant, but of course some factions oppose mail-in.

    I've read that study and it's incomplete data as in how many new polling places were opened, how many were closed because they no longer met ADA requirements, how many closed because of population shifts.

    But here is were the wheels meet the ground, how many successful lawsuits have there been over closed polling places being closed for discriminatory purposes?

    And those measures you talk about were to have ended DECADES ago. Those still supporting them could not present a compelling case to the SCOTUS that they needed to be continued, there was no evidence of continued racial suppression and there are adequate provisions to handle such claims.

    Why do you assert there should not have been changes to polling places since 1973 and that changes are proof of some suppression or need for some federal oversight?

    And again if there are long lines and you need more in your county then address it with the local canvassing board. And with expanded mail in voting comes the expansion of the problems associated with mail in voting but if you want that where you vote then take the matter to you STATE LEGISLATURE and fellow citizens and if you all agree then vote it in.
