that is stupid, you just have to open more polling stations.

Well, you have to remember a couple things:
1) This is the highest turnout we've had in over 30 years, and will probably be the highest for the next 30 years. Typical elections don't have near the wait.
2) Opening more polling places means buying more voting booths, paying more staff, rent, etc.
3) If it continues like this, people will realize that they can vote with absentee ballots in the comfort of their own homes.
4) So people have to wait. Big whoop. I'd say we have it pretty good when we only have to wait an hour or two to pick our leaders. It's a lot better than dying for it.
