Also, what's up with these horrible queues at polling places? In my country (Czechia), I rarely have to wait when I come to the polling place.

We have one polling place (one ballot box, one comitee, about two places where you're required by law to fill your ballot) per maybe couple thousands citizens. These places are usually in a local school for the district. During the election, they are open Friday afternoon till 8 PM and Saturday till 2 PM. We have fully tabulated results by late Saturday. We don't have to register, the verification is done through a central registry, we just have to prove our identity at the polling site.

Frankly, I think U.S. deserves a comprehensive electoral reform. Americans should demand it in a general strike.
