Cop out? Yes, it certainly is.

I was in line today behind a man who had apparently been badly burned recently and had terribly painful-looking scars. He waited 35 minutes, just like everybody else.

He was pushing his disabled wife who was in a wheelchair, and not terribly comfortable-looking. She waited just like the rest of us.

Just before I was to vote, the official asked me if I minded another person cutting in before me. I stood back for a very, very old lady in a wheel chair and on oxygen. She voted, too.

After seeing the determination of these three, I don't think anybody has any excuse if their only obstacle is long lines.
