Also, Elections in the United States are funded at the local level, often unequally. In the 2004 elections, Wyoming spent $2.15 per voter while California spent $3.99 per voter. In contrast, Canada spends $9.51 per voter.

This is why voting lines in Canada are so short. It literally took me an average of 10-20 mins to vote in all elections in Canada. Every local community has a voting place with observers and volunteers to assist you. It is so easy to vote, so convenient that it blows my mind to see what is going on in the U.S and the huge lines that you see, people waiting hours. I'm not trying to put the U.S down, I'm just trying to share my experience and show that it can be done differently.
