if you are a Magat voter you won't have to wait to vote, if you are Democratic voter and live in a city you may have 4,5.6 hour lines to vote, and then a judge will declare extra time isn't needed.

Democrats need to be pushing for more voting machines in districts with heavy turnout. Waiting hours to vote is unacceptable.
