Voting takes like 10 minutes

100% false. In the 2020 election in Mississippi, I had to wait in line for 2 hours. My wife had to call into the vet clinic she worked at to make sure she could to take a 3 hour lunch to vote even though it was 2 miles from where she worked. It was so disorganized and so slow.

I’m so glad I vote via mail now in Washington.

FTFY

That's not the worst of it, people were waiting for over 10 hours in Georgia. All because the GOP rigged it so there'd be a shortage of voting locations. And they have the nerve to turn around and lie about the dems stealing the election. Absolute scum.

I voted by mail in 2016 and my ballot never got counted even though it was sent weeks before the deadline. I now vote in person unless I have no other choice.

The great thing about Washington is that it’s opt out mail in voting. When you get your license, you register to vote at the same time, and they just send your ballot via mail. It’s nice!

That is nice as long as they actually count it once you send it in lol

Voting is the minimum effort required of actual change the system. Any arguments about it being hard are here to stop more direct action.
