Your experience does not serve as sufficient data to conclude that poor neighborhoods are just as well-served as rich ones. There is real data that says otherwise.
No, but it is sufficient reason to know the absolute you spoke of is untrue.

We’ll just have to see. We are living in extraordinary times with the pandemic.

I did not claim an absolute. I claimed a statistic. I am sure there are poor neighborhoods with short lines and rich neighborhoods with long lines. But not very many. Statistically it is poor people who are most discouraged from voting.LeafByNiggle:

Nope. You didn’t even mention a statistic.
Instead you provided an absolute declaration, one that is shown false.

Thought it was clear, but in case it is not, I will say it now. Poorer people in general have a much harder time voting. Is it clear now?LeafByNiggle:

The city has portable bathrooms along the way.
Yes.
But I do not believe it.
The poor person in line next to yhas just as much voting power as the rich person.

He is not in line next to me. He is in his own precinct in a much longer line. He has as much power as I do only if he can afford the time to stand in that longer line. But of course Trump didn’t have to stand in any line at all because he got to use mail-in voting.LeafByNiggle:

So what? Standing in line is not a problem.

As I explained, it is a problem if you have kids home waiting for you to make supper. Why should the poor have to endure more inconvenience to vote than the rich?LeafByNiggle:

If you have to make up something to be a problem, you don’t have a problem. You have a hypothesis.
Your hypothesis does not hold.
Everyone that can vote gets to stand in line.
Standing in line is not a problem.
The line where I vote sometimes reaches several miles long. The only significant problem we get is that sometimes the state is called before we can vote.
But that is not a polling issue, that is the media trying to predict and sway the vote at the last minute.

It is not just a hypothesis. It is a fact. Polling places in some places are a disaster. It is well documented. Real people have the these problems. You cannot wish them away by calling them a hypothesis. There are people whose lives are such that they cannot afford getting to the polls, standing in line for hours, then getting home to kids that have been left unattended and unsupervised. It is a very common problem.LeafByNiggle:
If you have to make up something to be a problem, you don’t have a problem. You have a hypothesis.
Read about the disaster at the Wisconsin primary. There were only five polling places in Milwaukee, a city of 600,000 people. Read more about it here. Milwaukee normally has 162 polling places. One cannot honestly believe that 162 polling places can be reduced to 5 polling places without suppressing the vote.
As you point out, “calling” the state is a media thing and has no legal weight.
Moving goal posts again.
You pointed out…
And yet you seem to have abandoned that hypothesis.
Lines are not a problem.
People stand in lines every day.
It has harmed no one.
