Anyone else seeing signs of voter suppression?

My voting precinct is Huuge and in the big republican stronghold of Shelby county AL. This morning only two of the four+ voting machines were operational. This caused an hour long line IN the voting room. It was hot and humid inside. It was misery if you have any semblance of claustrophobia.
I was about ready to surrender my ballot just to get out of that damn room for some oxygen.
If I were to create a soft voter suppression scenario, this would be perfect. Hot, miserable long lines with no provision for old or handicapped folks.
Anyone else seeing similar? I hope it's just an honest screw up at our polling station.

It’s only suppression if you let it be.

No one is trying to suppress a Donald Trump vote in Alabama or the Republican vote in Shelby County. What would be the point?

I just read your post.
You're being suppressed.

Obviously they aren't worried about the vote here in bama, but this could be a nationwide issue in close states

What location?

No, but I did see idiocy. Voted in Cobb County this morning, three of the workers had masks on. Dumb

Well they guy checking my name on the list overlooked it several times. I had to tell him I saw it on the previous page and he still couldn't find it. I was beginning feel like he was up to something because it was very obvious that my name was on the list. When another worker came over to help him then he saw it.
It was weird but I don't think he was trying anything nefarious, just old and it was early.

That sounds like incompetence not suppression.

MS shouldn't be talking down to anyone.

Nut up and get it done.

They put Kamala and Broome on the top and they buried the good not commie candidates in the middle

Should be turned away from the precinct for electioneering

Trump was top of the list on my ballot.

Maybe you should've taken the opportunity sometime in the last 2 weeks to vote early?

Nah, nothing in Colorado if you mean at the polling stations.
Most folks here in Colorado Springs are voting Trump anyways. Amazingly, people of different stripes get along very well here.
I think most everyday people are sick of the back and forth and despite having their own leanings, want to see this shite done right.

Stick it out brother.
Just next time, get your ballot mailed to you. Fill it out and drop it off the night before.

Your state elections officials need to get their shite together. I had 4 voting machines in my neighborhood voting location that serves 2200 households.
