18. Yes, but they are not 'denying' your ability to vote.

They are just removing the locations that you can vote in. That way, they did not stop you from voting, they just removed the means to do so with a decent amount of effort. They made it almost impossible for some to vote, not from removing their ability, but by removing their voting stations. Most cannot travel long distances just to vote. They know this. They also leaned on the corporate arm to make sure their employees would have to risk being fired for having to take the time to go vote. They schedule big jobs on those days and they make sure everyone that they can affect is far too busy to even think about trying to leave to go vote.

But, we let them rig our lives this way, so my complaining is pointless.

Until we realize what we are up against, this is just going to get worse.
