1. You never know who you will meet in that long line.
Bars are so over. For single people, there is no better place to find socially responsible and somewhat intelligent mates than at the polling place. Luckily, thanks to Los Angeles' never-ending election cylce that gives you three chances each year.

Do you really need another reason?
