    1. Polls open at 7am and close at 7pm and you can go to any polling place in the city?

      It would not be a nightmare…

      ~600,000 voters in marion county & 86 polling locations is 3,200 per polling location on voting day on average.

      So would end up with 268 per hour per location, and the average location has 20 polling booths (I think it is higher but going low here) so you end up with someone having to vote every 5 minutes per booth?

      and we can easily increase the number of polling locations since it is a federal holiday now so take it to 250 locations and problem solved.

      This is also assuming over 40% of people voted – so in reality you would have over 10 minutes per person in the voting booth and still be fine

    2. JJ…it’s obvious you know almost nothing about voting procedures. So….why are you scared a bout more early voting days?

    3. Rick I would love more early voting days but it is simply not going to happen – each side makes claims that are mostly made up opinions so it would make all of those statements a moot point

      I also love that stating facts from the marion county website and apply basic math I have no idea how voting works. Solid counterpoint that facts = not knowing

  1. Last year the line at the Perry Township Admin building wrapped around the block three times. People stood in line for hours to vote – and this was an early voting day. Yes it would be a nightmare.

  2. Indiana already has picture ID for voting. The present system works. Why change? The early poling workers are not paid premium wages (nor are the election day workers either). Cost seems minimal. Mostly elderly voting early. Putting them into to tighter ques just slows down the entire line on election day, especially wheel chairs which park poorly on ramps waiting. Again, why change what works?

  3. I think somebody is afraid the person working multiple jobs, or has kids or elderly to care for might actually get a chance to vote…

    JJ That gave us this big break down, assuming that people show up like they have scheduled appointments. It doesn’t work that way! Also l think JJ has never voted in Indiana. Poll hours are 6 to 6.
