I need to do this next time: want shorter lines to vote? Volunteer as a pollworker. This year, I voted absentee-in-person because I’m not at home, but with luck next time I will be able to help out.
Interesting to finally see white people’s race-based voting treated as something that needs explaining in reasonably mainstream media. “Obama's support was so broad that if white people had simply split 50-50, rather than favoring their ethnic candidate, the president would have won 58 percent of the popular vote.”
I try not to do this too much, but: sweet, sweet schadenfreude.
