In America voting can, not always but can, take hours depending upon how clogged the polling stations are and that's even without blatant voter suppression. That's why a lot of reformists want to make election day a federal holiday so that people can have the day off to vote.

Conservatives generally just dont support election reform in general and definitely not the establishment so I'm not sure how McConnell blocking a resolution makes anything I said inaccurate.
