All in-person voters wait in line to be processed by poll workers. The wait can be as short as a few minutes in some locations, while in other locations voters wait several hours. I consider the role of poll books on voter wait times and find evidence that electronic poll book (EPB) adoption is correlated with increased self-reported voter wait times relative to voting districts that use paper poll books (PPB). However, once I consider polling location characteristics and poll worker demographics, electronic poll books have a null effect on voter wait times. Instead, I find that voter wait times are influenced by voters' race, strict photo identification requirements, the total number of voting districts and polling locations, and the age of poll workers. I conclude that if EPBs are an important component of voter wait times, then they likely increase rather than decrease wait times. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
