Just curious since it seems so much easier and less stressful during any election cycle to fill out a form and mail it in during your free time.

I'm lucky enough to work for an organization which furnishes me with up to 4 hours of paid leave to vote. Plus, my polling place is on the road home, and I've never waited longer than a couple of minutes to vote. Finally, doing it in person feels more impactful, even if that's just a perception thing.

paid leave is the first answer that would get me to vote in person.

I can't believe none of you wait in lines haha, it's good to hear but absolutely surreal.

I don't think I've ever been to a voting office without waiting for at least half an hour.
