It Will Take You 4 Hours To Vote

by

KYW 1060 has reported that too many people have registered to vote, and as a result, there will be ridiculously long lines.

The Committee of 70 says 16 divisions in the city are way beyond the state limit for number of registered voters.

The group’s policy director, Sarah Stevenson, says those divisions are in center city, near Penn and Drexel in West Philly, and in the northeast: “The threshold in the state election code is 1200 voters per division. Some divisions here are just over 1,200, but some have three times as many voters.

The city says it can’t split the divisions this late in the game.

This is going to be a pain in the ass.
