They are not contracting polling locations. The same distance you had in the last election, is the same as you will have this time. Any maybe an even shorter drive if they elect to do more stations, vs longer hours at each.

The only difference is you get 10 days vs 17 days of actual in person, early voting. That is a ton of time to get in and out and avoid Election Day lines.
I never suggested that they contracted the number of polling stations. They say they will increase the number and increase hours to make up for the fewer days. So far everywhere they have have contracted days, even with increased hours, (See Florida) it has resulted in longer lines.

So in NC a person is likely going to either have to wait in a longer line, go during a strange hour or go to a different location.

The reality is that more democrats vote early than republicans. Go here and see for yourself. In almost every state the early voting benefits democrats. Republicans don't like that and this is a way for them to limit that.

I have said it several times in this thread. There is no voter fraud problem in this country. They are claiming to fix a problem that does not exist when the reality is that they are just trying to limit the number of votes cast which aids republicans.
