35. It really is, I noted above that I voted early in my county.

Lots of volunteers, plenty of machines. But I voted at like 2:00 in the afternoon - I'm an older mom with an open schedule. So, I aim to do things like voting or grocery shopping on weekday afternoons when many people are at work, and younger moms are home with napping kiddos.

But most people don't have that flexibility, and republicans take advantage of that by making it as difficult as they can for people who work.
