>> ...whether voters are subject to different voting qualifications based on race, color or membership in a language minority group.

How about wait times?

Someone making ends meet with multiple jobs shouldn't have a longer wait time than someone in, oh, say, Park Forest.

Go vote, fellow Americans!

Could the author post a link to the full list of 35 jurisdictions and 19 states being monitored? It would be interesting to see any pattern

These may be the most interesting on the list:
* Fulton County, Georgia
* Gwinnett County, Georgia

We'll know more in a few days. Most crucial counties in GA. Intimidation, delay and purging could swing the state.

Ready to go vote - last minute notes for a long ballot, etc.. and came across this election message from the leader of our great nation -

“As we speak, Democrats are openly encouraging millions of illegal aliens to break our laws, violate our borders and overrun our country, and they want to sign them up for free welfare, free healthcare, free education and most importantly the right to vote. They want them to vote.”

Is that statement actually history-making? Seems quite unique in the history of elections.

Go Vote, America.
