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

is this the same berlin election that's a do-over from 2021 because they didn't have enough ballots, polling places were closed, many voters couldn't get to the polls because of transportation failures, and there were still multi-hour long lines?

@ares That’s why we are having a do-over

@melanieistefan @ares So then it's maybe not the best occasion for schooling the US? 😬

@MishaVelthuis @melanieistefan @ares Weeell... Has there ever been a do-over in the US because of such things?

Or a judicial coup because of hanging chads?
