In many conservative run states areas where Democrats are most concentrated have very few places to vote so lines are long. And they even pass laws making it illegal to bring people waiting in the lines food or water.

I can’t speak for other states but in Texas early voting means you can vote at any polling place in your county. They reduce the amount of available polling places on actual election day, and you must vote at the polling place for your precinct only as well. So you’re more likely to have less of a wait time than on election day, and thus it’ll be easier to do.

Same goes with being sexy. It’s something one has to work on.
