Early voting aids and abets voting multiple times by the same individual, whether she or he is an eligible voter or not. In other words, it plays into the hands of cheaters and fraudsters, what with all the time it presents to drive the same busloads of hacks around a state, or for that matter, from state to state. It also creates more confusion with big crowds and election workers not aware of who may have voted before and is trying to vote again.
Yes, it should be repealed everwhere it exists in order to improve the integrity of the voting process. It's just a wrinkle introduced relatively recently into the system to bolster the prospects for cheating 'Rats. And this year, it may well have propelled Zero to alleged "re-election." Not by accident, it seems to be most prevalent in the swing states such as Florida
As for absentee ballots, "no-excuse" absentee balloting should be repealed wherever it exists, especially mandatory mail-in absentee ballots (as exists in Washington and Oregon). Absentee ballots are always prone to the fraud of "assistants" doing the voting instead of the alleged voter, who may be mentally incapacitated or even deceased.
What has happened beginning in the Clinton era is that "reforms" in election procedure with the misguided aim of making voting more convenient have given election fixers and fraudsters an easier pathway in plying their heinous criminal schemes on an all-too trusting public.
If 'W' had won New Mexico he didn't need Florida ~ obviously the Democrats figured this one out.
Answer me this.
Obama got fewer votes this time than the first time. Romney got less votes than McCain. In other words, what does early voting have to do with it? Our side didn’t get out the vote.
