How do politicians this terrible keep getting elected
and then when they make it so everyone has only the single place to vote, we'll see the die hard supporters of these politicians starve and dehydrate as they wait in days long lines in order to vote, only to get to the door and have it slammed in their face because the law was also changed to stop people voting after a certain time despite being in line
