In a world where Amazon drops an item off on your porch 2 days after you clicked on a button, voting should not be this complicated.

I get to leave work early, I walk or drive to my assigned voting station. Show ID, mark my choice and leave. 10 minutes is the longest I've waited in the 15 years I've been voting.

I've never heard of Don Blankenship. Not as informed as I thought I guess.

Yeah, it all gets quite shameless. We get "official looking" mailers that come from organizations with neutral-sounding names (like "Citizens for Electoral Information" or something), and it's apparently just about basic information, but it'll tell you where each candidate stands on three issues and it's plainly obvious they were chosen (and worded) to guide you to one. Zero indication it's a partisan affair, but to anyone remotely savvy it's obvious.

To be fair, the other team is handing out �sample ballots� as well.

I am picturing a line of people who have been up since 4 a.m. and figured they would come instead of waiting for the paper to be delivered.
