      I, like most Americans, know we only get one vote! Gotta save it for that perfect candidate!

      You gotta get in the building first. Back in 2016, me and a friend went to vote. I would have voted Vermin Supreme (legit candidate no less), and my buddy planned on writing in Batman.

      We stood in line for around 2 hours. For about the last half hour of waiting it was raining. Around half of everyone knew the weather forecast and had an umbrella, including us.

      They closed the voting place (library) down at 8pm sharp, and the cops told everyone in line to go home. We were probably 150~200 people back in line.

      We all waited that long, even in the fucking rain, only to be ordered to leave?!

      If it matters (which it probably does), our state doesn’t have early voting, you get one day to do it and that’s it.

      Wait 2 goddamn hours, partly in the rain, only to get shut down with around 200 people or so waiting to vote?!

      Sooo… I’ve never had a chance to see the inside of a voting facility. Not for lack of trying though.

        Is that what happened in 2024 as well?

            My wife was admitted to hospital days before the election, but voted anyway because absentee voting is a thing, and something one would assume a voter would look into after being denied the right to vote once before.

        Eh, a Trump scenario was inevitable unless people grew balls and voted for someone like Vermin Supreme. You have to be the first one to vote third party.
