I don't have that problem. I can go mid morning, and have never be in line more than 4 or 5 minutes. When I was working I would get there 15 minutes before they opened, and be in the first five in line (have been # 1 a couple times) and could go after work and usually never was a line. It does have some benefits, living in a rural community. Absentee ballots are fine, it is the early voting with the regular ballots I think could definitely encourage fraud. Here, we either show our voter registration card or govt picture ID. Last election I asked if anyone had been turned away for having neither and was told no one had. Once you reach the first 'check in' table, they notate beside your name on a printout that you have been there and voted. There is no way anyone else could vote in your name unless the poll worker was in on the fraud, and most of our workers are seniors who don't take any crap. They'll tell you real quick too, that you don't wear any clothing items or paraphernalia for any specific candidate within 200 (I think that's the limit) feet of the polling area, and will NOT allow anyone to vote with candidate-specific buttons, hats, clothing, etc. The enforce the rules to the letter. They display signs in very readable letters "No Alcohol - No Firearms"(within XX feet of polls)
