The logistical and bureaucratic problems facing voters in this election have been covered from many angles on Kos, but one which I think has been entirely neglected is the following: Long lines and predicted huge turnout for this election will make it harder than ever for working people to get to the polls without facing consequences at work. We should try to address this before the election by asking companies and workplaces to pledge to support employee voting by not punishing or docking workers trapped in long lines at polling places, or those who need to leave early in order to reach their polling places before they close.
