Stay in line for as long as it takes," he tweeted, adding the voter assistance hotline number for any queries that the voters might have.
There's a reason some folks are trying to make it hard for you to vote: They know that if you do, things change. And that's why the answer isn't to stay at home. It's to turn out like never before and show them what this country stands for.
