People in Iraq voted while under threat of getting their asses blown up...and people in Florida whined about long lines.
Cry me a river.
Yep, and I guarded some of those people while they did it. You wouldn't believe how happy they were just for the opportunity to vote. Americans are spoiled.
Whenever a topic like this comes up, I find myself wondering how many people who espouse the above sentiments also espouse the following:
1. America is the greatest nation on Earth.
2. America is a beacon of freedom to the oppressed peoples of the Earth.
3. The Supreme Court shouldn't take into account the decisions of foreign courts when looking for precedents upon which to base their decisions.
The fact is, a lot of Americans are working crap jobs for asshole bosses and making **** wages, living paycheck to paycheck. A long line is going to discourage them from voting.
Are there other options? Of course. Do we do a good job of making sure people are aware of them and encouraging them to do so? I'd say this is proof that we don't.
It never ceases to amaze me that, despite our largesse, technology and know-how, we continue to struggle when it comes time to cast a ballot or take a census.
