107. Last time I voted there were long lines too. I got irritated

Mar 2016

It was because there were only a few voting stations which I thought was a piss poor reason to make people wait. We were voting in an elementary school gymnasium. So after I was given my ballot, I got out of line and walked over to the stage and used it as a voting station and before I was done, everyone that was there had found a spot with their ballots and there was no more line.

Breaking the law. AtomicKitten Mar 2016 #56

That's the law for soliciting votes. Hortensis Mar 2016 #81

He and the mayor were campaigning for Hillary, and that sure as hell is illegal. AtomicKitten Mar 2016 #82

I'd like to point out that by having the poll unacessable and obviously pro Clinton, he is notadmblnd Mar 2016 #104

No. He is only obstructing if HE is obstructing. Hortensis Mar 2016 #109

It is if a single one of those people is wearing any kind of Hillary swag. JimDandy Mar 2016 #89

And I call Bill walking Hillary swag. He should not have been there. nt SusanCalvin Mar 2016 #101

It actually falls under the "otherwise promote" part of the law. JimDandy Mar 2016 #105

Right? LisaM Mar 2016 #10

Who said suppressing votes? You? It appears that people are waiting for 2 hours to vote because Nanjeanne Mar 2016 #19

Okay, whatever. You clearly implied Bill Clinton was deterring voters LisaM Mar 2016 #23
