Reply #23: She turned up an hour and a half before the close

[muriel_volestrangler]

and there's nothing in the story that says she didn't have her polling card, or that there was anything wrong with the way she was registered. She just queued for 90 minutes, and still didn't get a ballot.

You are blaming her without any evidence whatsoever.

I've never had to wait more than a couple of minutes to vote. Perhaps I manage to go at less popular times, usually (on Thursday, I voted about 8:45 am, and didn't have to queue at all), but I've voted in the early evening too, and my stations have never been that busy. I've never heard of queues that long before in British polling stations - turning up at 8:30 pm seems perfectly reasonable to me. Her 'demands' are to be able to queue less than 90 minutes to vote.
