Or just not having ridiculously long queues.

Much of the rest of the democratic world looked upon those reports of people waiting all day, sometimes 10+ hours in a queue and thought "it took me 5 minutes where I live".

In countries without long queues to vote, you don't need to take a day off work.



Oh, I agree. That's what I wanted to suggest with more polling places.

Another way would be to hold elections on a Sunday instead of the middle of the week. There seem to be a number of fairly simple ways to improve on the way US voting works, and it's baffling that none of them are implemented.
