People in SE Grand Rapids, MI (my hometown) waiting hours to vote, packed into a small church. 80% black. At least one person gave up and left.
It appears there either aren't enough officials or they aren't doing their fucking job. Probably because they're a bunch of repukes.

I guess they screwed up in my precinct. Voters heavily minority because of lot of big apartment complexes in the area, including mine. I guess they thought Plainfield Twp was Whiter than it is. I fear Kent County will revert back to red this year. I hope they file complaints. also the ballot is HUGE this year.
