Does anyone here know:

1/ Why anyone in the most advanced nation have to wait so long to vote?

2/ Does it mean there simply isn't enough time come election day for everyone to vote?

3/ Is there any estimates of how many people don't get to vote because of the lack of machines or the lack of voting locations?
