Always on a sunday here, for 14 hours (+1, if there are lines at sections) and always in person. No US stuff, like one month voting, drop your ballots in a street box, mail shipments, switching your votes etc. You go in person, show your ID, they check if it's really you and if this is where you should vote.  

same here...you have to go to vote in person...no other system is allowed (there are only special electoral units going to the place of those who just can't move but still are able and capable to vote -either they're at the hospital or at a retirement house)...

It's pretty much the same here, although it ends earlier, 6pm in most places.

And 8pm in the big cities.

Ah, we have those too, forgot about them. I think you have to say before election day, that you wish such a mobile station to visit you.

Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson had the highest-rated show in cable news in October, smashing ratings records and driving Fox News to its biggest prime time monthly average in the network’s history. Tucker Carlson Tonight drew an average audience of 5.359 million viewers—the largest monthly audience for any program in the history of cable news.

 

 

Daaamn, and on tuesday night he had 7.5 million viewers, which is bonkers for any kind of TV show in 2020 America, let alone cable news.

yeah, you kinda have to "book" your voting opportunity in days immediately before the elections, since obviously they can't just travel around in search of people not capable of going to the regular voting stations (which normally are located in the school buildings, at least here where I live, but I'm pretty sure it's the same in the whole Country)...

Isn't Tucker Carlson that guy yelling all kinds of bullshit onto the TV screens after thorough fact-checking?

 

Spoiler

So he can say the exact opposite of the facts?

Nah, he yells the bullshit on your computer and phone screens, Tucker Carlson yells it on your TV, minor and only meaningful difference
