  • This is what happens in some Republican controlled states when they limit the times and places and how people can vote. Trump said a few years ago that if minorities vote, Republicans will never win another election. So Republican controlled states started getting rid of polling stations and changing voting times to standard working hours, etc, knowing that people wouldn’t be able to take time off from work to stand in the now longer lines (due to fewer polling stations) or would want to stand in longer lines.

    Plus, election day is not a national holiday like it is in most other countries, so people don’t get the day off to vote. Though some companies give 3 or 4 hours paid time off strictly for voting.










  • Remember, Trump said if minorities vote, Republicans would never win another election. So they’re doing everything they can to keep people from voting. Republican controlled states already shorten voting hours, reduce the number of voting places, they constantly purge voters right before elections, they don’t like mail in ballots. The fact that election day isn’t a national holiday already says a lot about how much this country cares about democracy.

    Also, I think just about every reported case of voter fraud that I’m aware of has been condu by Republican supporters.







  • Not where I was. There were paved roads everywhere, and the city I was in was like any decent sized American city with skyscrapers, malls, shopping centers, etc. The only difference is that the women walked behind their men and covered their faces.

    They absolutely sucked at driving though. They literally have 4 and 5 lane highways (going in one direction) and they would turn them into 5 and 6 lanes. If a driver was in the far left lane and needed to take an exit, they would literally just go. It then became your responsibility to not hit them. When traffic got pretty thick, everyone drove with their flashers on. We avoided those types of highways as much as possible.
