I hear people are being turned away. But whenever I vote, I stroll down the road to a basically empty room, in and out in a couple of minutes. All in all, 20 minutes max. If I forgot ID it would be very little effort to just go get it.
Am I just incredibly lucky to live that close?
I live in a place where ID isn't required. In fact, I can register there without ID. It's really nice, and voter fraud is quite minimal despite this

I'm in Arizona and have had to wait in line for a couple of hours before. They also purged a bunch of voter registrations before without informing people, so quite a few had to cast provisional ballots and hope they got counted.
Not really, my local polling place I drive straight past on my way home, it probably takes five minutes out of my day at most.
Any functioning democracy should be like this.
Yes, sometimes people have to go to the next town. But, the easier is when you can vote by mail.
