The two ladies for me last weekend got rather aggressive with my wife and I and were pretty determined to not let us vote (both of us will be working over 11 hours on election day, which is a valid reason). When I pulled out my phone and called the current city councilman and candidate for the US House of Representatives for our district going "Kai? Hey, it's Matt. Do you have the number for one of the groups taking up voter suppression claims this time around?" they kind of changed their tune. We had a discussion about the issue and I have been talking to groups in Virginia trying to make early voting a thing here. I've always been for it, but this was my first time going absentee and had I not been as informed as I am about the law I would have been disenfranchised because these two people were ignorant of state law regarding the very thing they were supposed to be overseeing.
Sorry, had to vent a bit on that one.
As to the OP, yes, I vote. I vote in every election, I've worked as an election official even.
Holy crap.
For me it was just "Are you able to make it between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m.? No? OK, here you go"
That sounds. ridiculous.
