You do realize we have many more people today.(Population growth) And as I learned in college level political science we use to have about 10% to 15% of eligible voters vote.
Last time I checked we had about 50% -60% of eligible voters voting and I know this election is getting a heavy turn out.

For myself I have no complaints as I hand delivered an absentee ballot. However, my mom fought tooth and nail to get the right for women to vote. Long lines are not good and most states have enough poling places and machines to avoid these lines.
Lowest turnout ever for presidential election was 48.9%. You weren't listening in poly sci class. Voter Turnout in Presidential Elections
