It *could*! It could also be long lines really are indicative of high turnout above the expectations of competent elections officials, or that absence of lines = lack of interest. But people just conflate lines quick as proxy for enthusiasm, which leads to wrong conclusion + wrong focus.

Basically, in places that run elections well, NO LINES is a good thing! It's not a bad sign! (And if there really are noticeably long lines, that's a set of policy choices to be interrogated, not something to be celebrated.)

Mistake I see in turnout analyses is confusing *voting lines* & *high turnout*. You can have high turnout in a place that planned for it, has tons of locations/staff, & see no lines! Or middling turnout in a place that doesn't care to help, enough to trigger long lines!
