    I agree with what you’re saying except the first one. Not only can the mother of three take her kids with her to vote, she should take her kids with her to vote. They should see that this is a basic American duty.

      Not when it can take an hour or more to vote in some places. In one county I used to live in, it was common to break a chair to sit on in order to vote, because you were going to be there a while. Even in my much better district with more sites, etc, it took me standing for 30mins in order to early vote during the last midterm. Absolutely not would I bring even a single child to that. Not in the cold and outside since elections happen in November.

      Some people wait hours to vote, and have to bring chairs and food and water to vote. I’ll let you guess what communities generally experience that. Think of having 3 kids in a line for 6 hours… Because that’s the reality. It’s not just walk up say hey I’m here to vote…ok I’m done. People have to make a entire day to vote and prepare. The republicans are making laws like you can’t give voters water or food or chairs when they have been standing for 6 plus hours. They are making it impossible for certain people to vote
