Waiting to Vote

James K. Galbraith

A chapter in Unbearable Cost, 2006, pp 43-44 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract COLUMBUS, Ohio — The real scandal of this election became clear to me at 6.30 p.m. on election day as I drove a young African-American voter, a charming business student, seven months pregnant, to her polling place at Finland Elementary School in south Columbus. We arrived in a squalling rain to find voters lined up outside for about a hundred yards. Later the line moved indoors. We were told that the wait had averaged two hours for the entire day. By the time the doors closed at 7.30 p.m., it was considerably longer.
