Iowa voters won't be able to cast their ballot at any of those polling places this Election Day because of hundreds of closures and consolidations that have rippled across the state due to the coronavirus pandemic.

close to 70 million American voters have somehow figured out how to vote already...if you are struggling to figure out how to vote maybe you shouldn't be voting

Its no about figuring out how to vote its where
Oh ok so the man or women who have voted at the same polling place for decades who may not be following the closures or informed about the closing shows up on Tuesday to vote and is told to drive x many miles to a new polling place they consolidated with 4 others and wait x amount of hours and its their fault
You love blaming those impacted. Even if Most Trump supporters prefer to vote in person
Let me guess its the price of freedom. And a privilege To wait in line hours to vote

there was a story on our local news recently...Newport had closed a polling place due to heath concerns or something...the local news sent a team to investigate this travesty...they decided to see how long it would take them to get to the next closest polling place where they had consolidated...it took 45 seconds...it was 2 blocks away...there has never been more information available from more sources about how, where and when to vote....

If you complain about two blocks, I’d consider where this story came from, Newport isn’t exactly a poor rural community. If you have to stand in line for 5-8 hours, not only is something serious wrong (Scott voting never was so easy right), you definitely have something to complain about; which is why they are willing to do it.

You know you're wrong - right? There are certainly problems in blue as well as red states but in the red states they actively try to limit the vote.
Texas, GA?
