US friends, take note. I went to vote in Berlin today and this was the line in front of the polling station. “But wait! There is no line!” Indeed. There is no line because there need not be one. Because it’s about how polling is organised. If you are standing in a line for hours in order to exercise your democratic rights, it’s because someone wants you to.#polling #democracy #righttovote
@melanieistefan I 've lived in three US states, in urban, suburban and rural areas, and have never waited to vote. I acknowledge my privilege.
As another poster stated, lines occur when and where officials want them to.
