I don't get the whole 'it was a pain in the ass to vote' mentality. If it was important to you, you'd find a way to do it. It's once every 3 years.

I wouldn't use the word "######ed" but in this day and age it seems a little behind the times to keep voter registrations in recipe boxes. If they were stored securely online then it may be possible to vote at any polling station in the city.
Voting today wasn't a pain in the ass but it could have been easier. My original point was voter turnout was an issue for some. One way to address that problem was to make it even easier to vote: polling stations downtown available for anyone.
And for those keeping track at home, I found myself able to find a polling station and properly place a check mark beside my candidates of choice. Success!
