Not only are any differences in average wait time statistically insignificant, but at best they reflect the only (and small) negative side effect of urban density when it comes to delivering votes. I would have loved to see the survey ask a more relevant question: "How long did it take you to go vote today?" I bet when you account for the propinquity of polling stations in urban areas versus suburban and exurban areas, the Rep vs Dem gap will blow out. Of course, the survey could also seek to tease the advantages in time/certainty of voting conferred by early voting (in my county, Mecklenburg NC, it is much easier to find you early voting station the closer you are to the inner city). Finally, I would have also loved to see this question asked: "Did you get any assistance getting to and from voting?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
