That's not even taking into account taking time off to actually vote, easy to do as a white collar worker, but vastly more difficult if you're juggling multiple minimum wage jobs that won't give you time off to go vote

i remember hearing about texas... they got rid of all but one drop box per county for early voting or something like that - that's total bs.
i didn't hear about the reduced polling stations - that's pretty brutal.
i never thought about taking time off work for voting. i know before i was self employed i'd just go vote after my work day.
