in the 80s I remember voting in someone's garage just up the street a few blocks. there were usually people there but a comfortable flow. With that sort of polling place only a given number of voters were expected at any location. Wonder why that changed.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
