@tepicharliquin.bsky.socialI always wonder the same thing as it is the same in Canada as it is for you, but apparently the US will understaff their poll stations as well as limit the number of stations along the same lines as how they gerrymander.
Show PostBeing British it has really struck me that in the US it's hard to vote. Very few polling stations, so long travel times & limited booths, so long queues. In the UK it's so much easier & more local. Each small area has it's own polling station in a school, village/chuch hall or community centre.
Show PostAs a British person, I find this very hard to understand. I don't think I've ever voted in an election and it's taken me more than two minutes, in and out. How do American elections work that they generate such big queues?
Show PostOver 14 yrs Tories grew the NHS waiting list from around 2m to nearly 8m - and are now 'surprised' that welfare spending on incapacity / disability has risen, so it 'must' be cut. Cut the wait, not the welfare. Also welfare spend vs GDP is within the normal range and not 'out of control'.
