But what you don't have is stuff like a way for people to watch your kids when you're off work so you stand in a line for 2 hours in order to vote, something kids are not known for being able to put up with easily.

And then there's the transportation they may not have. If you have to walk an hour to get to that two hour line, that's even more time used up.

And then there's the fact that someone exhausted from a day of work may not have the energy to stand in line for 20 minutes, let alone 2 hours.
