people have managed just fine for many years acting like responsible adult citizens...but according to democrats they are suddenly too stupid or lazy to do so...we don't need to "help" someone else vote unless they request help...like requesting an absentee ballot, which they can easily do...we don't need to go to their door, drag them out of the house and down to the polls to cast their vote which is basically where the democrats and their little fringe groups are at.......I assume adult Americans who want to vote will do so and are fully capable as has been done for years

no they haven't. it has frequently been a problem since the scummy  Repub. have figured out that if everyone votes they won't win.

No one is being stopped from voting. It is up to the voters, if they want a particular person to win, to vote in whatever way is available to them. If they think that voting in person is too difficult, and they don't have a disability that prevents them from doing so, then they don't think it's all that important if their candidate wins or loses.

some locations stretched more than five hours long, particularly in the Atlanta metro area.
I guess you dont see this as a problem.. So do I stand in line for 5 hrs and risk getting fired or losing a days Pay.. or do I stand in line for 5 hrs because some party removed polling places in the hopes I dont vote
5 hrs in line is voter suppression reguardless

So we have had voter suppression for over 200 years in this country? And, BTW, Republican voters would also be standing in lines.
Counties are responsible for the number and placement of polling places in Georgia. If there are not enough places or machines, it is up to the County. "Fulton County [which includes the Atlanta metro area] is one of the most reliably Democratic counties in the entire nation." It's up to the Fulton Co. Democrats to provide enough polling places and machines. The County administration said the waiting times were a result of a glitch in the voting pads.

So nearly 70% of that county voted democratic last presidential election, why would they want to put more polling places in so more people can vote, you have to consider the voting history and local government, everything plays into why certain places are making it harder to vote.

Wow so people having to wait in line up to ten hours are stupid and lazy, you are just intent on spreading the Trump and GOP bullcrap.

You must have been really good at dodge ball in school, because you keep dodging the questions and points being raised, there is something very wrong when I can vote in ten minutes and others need to wait in line for 5-10 hours. Please spin that into its easy for anyone to vote.
