I just think we need to recognize that the issue with the bathrooms is a symptom of the problem but it is not the big problem, the big problem is that Florida is making it impossible for people in certain parts of the state to vote without sacrificing hours out of their day. Six hours is way too long to make people wait whether they need to use the bathroom or not. The Justice Department needs to investigate why the lines are so long to begin with.
