here's one thing that doesn't happen in Chicago

From a Green in Utah, about her daughter in Maryland:

I couldn't believe what she told me today - that not only are schools closed (not a surprise, they always have been on election day there), as well as state offices, but the public transporation is also not operating today due to election day!!!! So my daughter is unable to go vote because she has no transportation. Which means an entire population of people who depend on public transportation will not have easy access to their polling places because of this!
