Default US election 2020: Why it can be hard to vote in the US..... a BBC report

A fierce battle over who should vote and how has sparked hundreds of
lawsuits and prompted accusations of voter suppression. So what are the
barriers to voting and why do they exist?

Images of the long queues of early voters were both celebrated as a sign
of enthusiasm and criticised as evidence of a creaking electoral system.

Queues, restrictive voting laws and limited access to polling stations
all keep people from participating in the democratic process, says
Andrea Hailey, the CEO of Vote.org, a non-partisan non-profit that aims
to use technology to help people register to vote.

I agree with this report, it's strange that something so basic as
casting a vote should be made so difficult for voters.
