10 tweets that perfectly sum up what it’s like waiting in the long voting lines
Happy Election Day, friends! Err, “happy”? Sort of. It makes us so sad to say it, but it can actually be sort of a pain to vote. Long voting lines on Election Day are SERIOUSLY plaguing this election. When you first come across long voting lines, it may seem exciting. Like, yay! Look at all those voting humans being awesome Americans and doing their part! But, as many are pointing out, while they may seem exciting at first, long voting lines actually have long term consequences on the election. It gives us all the feels, and not in a good way.
So what’s it like to be stuck in the long AF voting lines on Election Day?
