I never even heard of it til I started hanging around here.
Since our gerrymandered-to-death state legislature is extremely red, I highly doubt if anyone is even thinking about it.
One good thing, at least where I am (Philly burbs) on Election Day there's polling places everywhere - 3 in my little township alone - so I've never had to wait in a really long line to vote, even in presidential years.
