It would be wrong to write off long lines simply as an annoyance. Research has indicated that long lines lower the probability of an individual voting in the next election by about one point for every hour in line. When it comes to close elections, margins like this matter.
Long lines = voter suppression. After the Supreme Court got rid the Voting Rights Act’s preclearance requirement there were at least 1,688 polling place closures (between 2012 and 2018) in jurisdictions formerly covered by the preclearance requirement. http://civilrightsdocs.info/pdf/reports/Democracy-Diverted.pdf …pic.twitter.com/7i5zLsGtkV
It's worth noting that polling place closures and long lines was a predictable outcome of John Roberts' opinion in Shelby County. Making voting harder has been one of his central projects during his time as Chief Justice. Some have called it a "crusade."https://www.vox.com/21211880/supreme-court-chief-justice-john-roberts-voting-rights-act-election-2020 …
The fight against voter suppression has always been a whack-a-mole. Suppression shifted from poll taxes to voter intimidation to strict ID laws. Today, many of the tactics are more subtle. But the intent is the same: make voting harder. That's what these long lines represent.
