To take this a step further, would that also make absentee ballots unconstitutional?

I think the “Electors” bit is what makes it legal.
However, I’m a dumbass. Hopefully some of the brains here can figure it out.
Interesting, tho. :)

The electoral college day !!!
To: careyb
I completely agree. No amendment has been made to change this. Early voting, IMO, is bad for the election process. It allows room for so much hanky-panky, and it is being exploited by the Obamunists.

Read more carefully:
The time of choosing the electors—that’s “election day.”
The day on which the electors vote—that’s the day the Electoral College votes—the electors voting on the same day in every state.
The requirement regarding the “same day” refers to the day the electors vote, not the day the citizens vote.
To: careyb
"The Congress may determine the Time of choosing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States."The first time I ever heard of "early voting" that came to my mind. Early voting is clearly unconstitutional, and should have been challenged in federal court the first time a state did it. The constitution clearly states that election day is to be on the same day throughout the country. Only the most liberal of judges could see it any other way.

Does our Congress and State legislatures really care about the Constitution? Based on the results of their hog-wild rule, the answer is: NO.

But without early voting, it would be much harder for the rats to cheat. They wouldn’t have as much time to find out how many votes they need to manufacture!

I don’t know if it’s constitutional or not but I sure don’t like it. It’s awfully messy and opens the door for all kinds of fraud.
With Obama’s numbers falling, I wonder how many early voters voted for him and now wish they hadn’t.

"

This y'all thinks that we ought to wake up.
We haven't been a nation of constitutional law for quite some time.
We have been like a rusting hulk in the junk yard.
Should you want to restore it, it will take a bit of time,effort, and sacrifice.
Perhaps it would be better to recycle it.

The Constitution is referring to the Electoral College electors. And they do meet on the same day throughout the land, December 15th.
To: careyb
Election Day should be a 24 hour period Saturday-Sunday before April 15, after withholding is abolished, and run 7:00AM Eastern to 7:00 AM Eastern. All polls open and close simultaneously on eastern time.

Well, it doesn’t do any good to argue or discuss it. You know the drill. Somebody has to take it to court. I’d be surprised if nobody has tried.

If you think the courts and the politicians disegard the Constitution now,watch what happens when HUSSEIN and the socialist Congress start naming Supreme Court judges.
HUSSEIN might be POTUS indefinitely before its all over.

How did it so quickly and quietly get put in place? What is ACORNs role in getting it in? It clearly enhances voter fraud opportunites.

90% of recent election law is UNCONSTITUTIONAL... all it takes is a ‘toon appointee or two to say that it is legal.

Look.. it probably IS illegal. I will easily give you that.
Having said that, I must say I really enjoy the fact that we have early polling here in Texas. My wife and I voted in peace last week and it only took us like 3 minutes total. There were no lines. It was a smooth process. Also, having voted for Ms. Palin and Cindy's husband early gave me that good feeling that I have done my part for the Republic.
Early Voting is good in my opinion. If it is illegal then it is a crying shame
To: careyb
Yeah,, it is illegal,, because the constitution says election day is Nov 4! but,, they’re getting away with it.
