[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right - I am usually out of Arlington from 9 am to 7 pm -- so 10 hrs instead of 11. There is NO way I will go vote in the morning. Can I just pick that reason and stretch the times to make it work? Or go with "business outside the county"?[/quote]

Why can't you leave the office a bit earlier? I am sure your boss will understand.[/quote]

I don't have that kind of job. And no by no means will my boss understand.[/quote]

This is exactly why we need to move elections to a Sunday.  Or make early voting available in all 50 states.[/quote]

Or at least be reasonable about it and extend poll closings. I know votes need to be counted that night, but closing at 7!? [b]I have a feeling that poll timings are set by Richmond, where everyone works from 8-5, precisely as a 20 min drive home and thus has from 5:20 until 7 pm to work.[/b] Doesn't work as well in places where work hours and/or commutes are longer. Mass. and NJ are open until 8 pm, NY until 9 pm; I don't see any reason we couldn't extend it an hr or two.[/quote]

I guess you have never driven through Richmond during rush hour.  Twenty minute drive, my arse!!!!  [/quote]
