Well then, they need to force employers to let their staff vote, and they need reasonable access to polling stations. I'm sure there will be some isolated tiny villages, I guess they can be allowed to vote by mail. But the vast majority of people, there should be no need. It's crazy for the reasons wuf has stated. It calls into question the integrity of the entire process.

And yeah, anything more than an hour long wait is going to put people off. We don't have this problem. Maybe they should spend less money on propaganda before the election and more money on actually holding it.
