Watch the video linked in the first reply.

There will be 430 polling places this year. There were more than 2000 in 2008. They scheduled the primary the same day as local primaries and made the hours from 8-3PM, 7 hours. (so many people will have to make a choice between the two).

The government has already admitted that only about half of the people that come to the poles will be able to vote.

Is that something worth defending?
