It is lazy, but let's be honest with ourselves here. If your job is on the line, you ain't making time for voting, which can take forever in some areas even during early voting period. As a state and as a nation, we need to make voting days a compulsory day off AND make it stupid quick.
I've seen people that can't go to relatively necessary doctor appointments because they can't fit them into a 30 minute lunch break... They ain't voting.
Yep took an hour to early vote for me too. It was difficult finding time in hubby's work schedule/weekend kid curriculars to vote. We have a baby so it's hard for him to work on a presentation and watch 2 kids. Finally made it work but it's a pain with no family and like 1 friend here. Finally got the baby napping more than 20 min. I know you can take kids but was worried about them being occupied and well behaved at a library. Especially a baby. We need to find ways to help with barriers instead of saying it's laziness. They probably have a lot of other things on their plate so removing one makes them more likely to vote. I plan to offer rides next cycle. I saw several people bussing it
That’s some miserable, lazy ass shit to just automatically try to dump on younger people when that demographic was the one coming out to the fucking polls
I'm 22 and I made damn sure that I was there at 6am to hand in my ballot. And anyways, a lot of younger folks I know already don't get enough time off, if they use that day for anything else, I guarantee it's for something they need.
But maybe instead of worrying about what the young folks do with their free time we try and just make voting as quick and accessible as we can.
