Deliberately bad planning. Polling locations and times are determined by folks with a vested interest in choosing who votes for them, not in letting voters choose who holds office.

That's definitely a problem in the system. Organizing the election should be independent from political interests. Not having that independence is a far bigger problem than anything else.
