    A lot of people are lazy and just assuming Trump will lose, won’t vote. Others it’s a challenge because they have to take time off work as voting day is not a holiday in the US. Additionally some polling locations have long lines, something notoriously common in low-income areas. People have been known to wait many hours just to vote and so not surprisingly these areas often have lower turnout due to frustration.

      Friendly reminder that most states are now permitting at least early in-person voting for all voters, if not mail-in.

      Only three states offer neither…NH, MS, and AL. Those ones, people have to show up in person on a random-ass Tuesday.
