Man I wish that was still the norm. Waiting in line for Halo 2/3 at midnight with my buddies are some great memories. Stupid digital downloads being all convenient and whatnot...
Voting by mail is inferior to having a voting booth. The women secretly voting for Kamela have a much lower chance of being able to vote as they want by mail-in ballots. Indeed anyone in an unequal power relationship has the same problem.
There's a reason we have voting booths, and it's still important.
And hope you aren't in one of those oppressive states that close the polls even if there is still a line. I'm all for states controlling their elections, but there probably needs to be some baseline rules (like the Federal minimum wage) to protect voters' rights. That's just wrong, especially since I think those same states are the ones that don't allow early voting either, and have restrictions on mail-in. Voting is a right, not a first come, first serve.
