Certain groups of people aren’t able to vote becuase they don’t have time. Those groups vote Dem so it makes sense why they’d want to stop them.

I do believe an employer should give an employee sufficient time to vote and be paid.. Does it need to be a paid 8hr+ holiday?? I dont think so.. Like i said earlier, my state was given a D- and ranked 44 out of 51 in ease of voting per your link.. but voting time averaged 9.5min...There isnt a need to take the whole day off over 10min wait IMO..
