In Ohio the maximum number of voters per polling station is 175.
So please to be remembering that this is a state-by-state issue, and varies widely? As is the method in which ballots are cast, which also changes time-to-vote?
I think that it is easy for people living in other countries to disregard the emphasis placed on states' rights in the US. Voting is a state issue.
It is also very easy to assume that all people living in the US have one perspective. This is just as limited as the idea that my country is "trying to do democracy on the cheap."
Furthermore, I don't think it was reasonable to expect every last site to be prepared for the increase in turnout. We are expecting 140 million votes today, when we've only had 110 million in the past. That burden has not been spread evenly.
