Unless they are working 12-14 hours on Election Day it is possible to make it in to vote if you really want to. Most polling places are open from 7am until 8 or 9 pm. It’s a matter of how bad you want to do something. I’ve worked the polls here in Wyoming and even if there is a line, if you are in line at the closing time, they bring you inside and you will get to vote. The busiest times were first thing in the morning and from about 5:30 until closing. I know for a fact that many of the folks I checked in (lots of neighbors and friends) were living paycheck to paycheck and worked all the overtime they could get. It’s a matter of priorities. Our society has become so use to everything being “convenient” a lot of folks just won’t take the initiative.
