If you don't think that 2-7 hour lines to vote are a problem, you probably don't have a disability.

If you don't think that 2-7 hour lines to vote are a problem, you probably have a job that allows you to decide when waiting 2-7 hours to vote works best for your schedule.

If you don't think that 2-7 hour lines to vote are a problem, you probably don't have a problem finding safe, affordable childcare for young children.

If you don't think that 2-7 hour lines to vote are a problem, you probably don't see why it might be a problem for people who don't share your circumstances.

Here's a behind the scenes of my life, a privileged white dude with a flexible schedule: I co-own a business and work a job. We have three kids. My wife works four days a week, nights & nap times as needed. I work three long days a week, nights & nap times as needed.

My wife and I co-parent for about an hour each morning and 1-3 hours at night. If we weren't able to leave one of our children w/ a family member (who lives w/ another family member who is extremely vulnerable to COVID), we'd each have to plan to take at least half a day off...

from one of our working days, which would likely require us to work additional night time hours, which further erodes the few hours per day when we are all together.

I expend what little spare emotional energy I have NOT being in a round-the-clock rage over Republicans' total refusal to do anything that doesn't explicitly help their donor class or rile up their base. AND MY LIFE IS FUCKING CAKE COMPARED TO A HUGE PORTION OF THIS COUNTRY.

So, yeah. Long lines to vote are a form of voter suppression, full stop.

Because the world needs another GD tweet: The American electoral system disincentivizes voting. It's baked in and needs to be changed.
