“Suppose in your neighborhood there are 600 registered voters per machine, while across town there are only 120 per machine…. On Election Day, your line wraps around the block and looks to be a four-hour wait, while in other areas lines are nonexistent. This ought to be a crime. It amounts to a “time-tax” on your right to vote, and some of your neighbors will undoubtedly give up and go home…. Voting rights advocates, watching this slow-motion train wreck that could disenfranchise so many minority voters, have filed emergency litigation in Virginia and Pennsylvania.”
