It isn't hard, but there are issues
• the pandemic created a need for distancing which probably reduced the number of voting stations within a given polling place, as well as the number of ppl allowed in at any time
• Republicans have been so worried about the poor voting that they have done things like get rid of many polling places so that people need to go to places which are inconvenient to them AND this artificially increases the crowds there
• Some polling places may have NOT prepared properly because of the huge turnout (they should have realized this when the primary elections had problems due to the huge number of people voting).
• That huge turnout is unfortunately NOT typical of America...so polling places are often used to about half the number of voters that we had, before closing of polling places.
If Republicans wanted to solve this, they would, but they can't stay in power with free & open elections.
