and why doesn’t everybody vote? I don’t understand why it isn’t mandatory i think everyone should have to, men, women, and children. If you can read the ballot, you should be able to vote. I know my nephew wouldn’t have voted for trump and he’s 10!
9·3 days ago- restrictive voting laws making it impossible (usually targeting minorities. I.e. voter id laws.)
- lack of time. People work. Roughly 2/3’s can’t get time off, the others are sleeping or are stay at home parents (and kids at a polling place? Nightmare fuel.)
- lack of available early or mail in voting
- frequently fucked up poling locations, making it an all-day thing in some places (which works with lack of time,)
- general voter apathy (“both sides!!!”)
