Vastly poorer countries, including ones with remote mountain villages, hold efficient elections where results are known in hours. Yet the wealthiest country on the planet, including some of its wealthiest cities and college towns, doesn’t, where people are forced to stand in lines for hours, just to cast a ballot. This is voter suppression, and it’s systematic, concentrated in areas where people are younger and browner. We need to overhaul our election system, guaranteeing the right to vote, and holding municipalities accountable when election boards fail their duty. We should also make election days federal and state holidays.
