I voted last weekend at the local Board of Elections and it took nearly an hour. There were a ton of people, but the BOE has their process down very well. I think urban areas like these are going to be pretty busy.

I don’t understand articles like this. I’ve never been in a place where it’s taken more than say 20 minutes to vote. The longest line was still within the air conditioned school that was my polling place. The only difficulty is spending that time staring at and smelling the bake sale to raise additional funds for the school
How is that a four hour line is not clear evidence of interfering with an election, and get immediately addressed, potentially including firing, fines, criminal charges?
My wife had a two hour wait a couple of days ago in Ohio, in a super red county. We don't even have democrats on the ballot for local elections. The thing is they only have one location per county for early voting and many more district locations on election day. I've never had a long wait on election day but a lot of people are showing up to vote early this year.
Because long voting lines in urban areas isn't a bipartisan issue.
Wonder why the Ohio State government would want long voting lines in Cleveland.
