Notes -
If nothing else, we'd find out whether Republicans really favor in person voting or just want it be difficult to vote and Democrats really just want it to be easy or have other reasons for wanting mail-in.
Like you, I haven't experienced the giant lines in person. In fact, I've now voted in:
Rural village with heavily red voting
Moderate sized city that's about half black demographically and votes blue
High income suburb that votes fairly (but not exclusively) blue
Downtown in Madison, Wisconsin, one of the bluest places known to man
In in none of them have I ever had any meaningful wait at all. The extent to which I've never had to wait makes it very hard for me to believe that the problem with in-person sites is fundamentally intractable. Maybe it gets harder in very dense urban areas, but it also seems like the available infrastructure in these areas should be excellent.
