HOUSTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton is calling for an expansion of early voting and pushing back against Republican-led efforts to restrict voting access, laying down a marker on voting rights at the start of her presidential campaign.

LMAO! Not even a smidgen of bias there in THAT lead paragraph!
Early voting is code for voting over and over.

No Absentee, no early voting and you must be registered in that precinct at least 15 days prior to the election. Voters should have to show one of - Social Security card/EBT card and picture ID with an address that matches the voter registration.
Yes, I'm mean... 😊
More days to commit fraud.
