2. As far as I know, there are no relief measures in place for those who cannot attend

This is not like a regular primary vote; there is just a one evening event where you're subject to potentially having your choice swayed by the convincing speeches or by those on "the other side". No early or absentee ballots. While it's hard to imagine anyone having been left out after looking at the massive crowds, I believe holding a day long vote, preferably on a Saturday and with options for early/absentee ballots would simply work for more people.

These events do generate a lot of excitement and can actually be fun despite standing in freezing temps for 2 hours just to get in the door. If we could avoid the Arizona debacle though, my own feeling is that a regular vote would be better.
