“The New York Times” has published an article that relates to voting and the problems that people experience during the process. “Waiting Times at Ballot Boxes Draw Scrutiny” is the title of an article written by Jeremy Peters. He addresses some of the most important issues that pertain to the right of people to vote, their equal ability to do so and the government that has a responsibility before the citizens to provide best and accessible conditions to cast the vote. The article also gives some hints and clues to the separation between classes and minorities who have a different experience and possibility to vote. One major point of the article is that voting is one of the most important rights of people in relation to their freedoms and choice of government and so, proper conditions must be set to meet the needs of people. The second point that deserves attention is that the long waits and lines at the voting polls cost the government and parties votes. This greatly affects the choices that people make regarding the government they want to see in the office. The third point that requires solutions is that the statistics show that minority groups had to wait longer in line and they are the ones who had less opportunity to vote during their work hours or a less flexible schedule. The audience of the article is the public and this serves as a reassurance that the issue is being looked at and the government will address the problem by implementing some changes.

People are starting to lose faith in governments every day and the examples of this are conflicts that take place all over the world. The government of the United States has proven to back up people and support their rights in any way possible. Voting was not an issue in the past decade, as people have gained their equal rights of voicing an opinion, in regards to the government they want to see controlling matters of the country. Even though it might seem like a small problem, comparing to all other troubles that the nation has experienced, nonetheless it must be addressed in a timely matter because any delay in making the decision will make the issue even more severe. It might cause people’s choice of government to become much skewed. If some area has a majority of supporters for a certain party and the conditions for them to vote are beneficial, the community will be able to include all their votes and comparing to a place that has supporters of the opposite party but has no opportunity to vote. The candidate for the election will lose that majority of votes and people will be faced with the government that only minority wanted to see in power.
