I do remember 2018 because it was a huge race in TX with Beto going against Cruz.
I understand that it can be inconvenient, but most people aren't at work from 7 AM-7 PM when the polls are open for an entire week. Some are even open an hour or two later (law allows polls between 6 AM and 10 PM and we should be pushing for those late times). People just don't wake up early or leave for the pills before or after work. I've lived in all the major cities in TX besides San Antonio and have never waited more than 15 minutes to vote. There's a lie going around that it takes forever, when that's only true on the very last day that you can cast a vote. I've seen posts on social media from poll workers saying that there were no lines during early voting at all.
I can understand not making it the first week of voting when they are only open from 8-5, but with some effort, most people should be able to make it when polls are open 7-7.
Should we have mail in voting? Yes. Should we have polls open until 10 PM on weekdays and polls open on the weekend (as already allowed by law)? Yes
We just aren't going to have some other those things until people use the system that's already in place and vote.
