My brother in law works for the board of elections in New York and you would not believe the insane restrictions, regulations that they have to abide by just to have a voting location.
they are understaff and the lawyers there are inexperienced in voting laws. Incredibly UNDERFUNDED, and the funding comes from intricate bureaucracy. They are always being sued. It’s on and on and this is NEW YORK, imagine smaller states that are not on the same level as New York?
so it’s not as easy as more mail in ballots, polling places, etc...the entire voting machine has to be tore down and built back up.
Im sure is all by design.
