These stadiums are mostly in the downtown regions of large urban areas, no doubt either in blue states or in the blue blobs of red states. This could prevent the strategies that governors like Brian Kemp use to cause delays and long lines in south Atlanta. This one thing could make a huge difference. Folks could sit, have access to bathrooms and water, and be assigned numbers to tell them when to join the line. Also, many employers are giving time off to vote, and mayors like Keisha could encourage that.
