“Another group that shouldn’t vote is childless liberals”
They certainly don’t have anything in stake. But as long as they are not living off the gubmint dole, then I cannot argue for their voting privilege exclusion.
My husband cannot stay in a line and definitely cannot be exposed to whatever is out there.
We early vote. I do not want to have to go and wait in line for hours. Yes, I am that lazy. But, since they offer the early voting I do it. I have seen many do so. My husband actually voted curbside. I know who I am voting for. NOTHING could change my mind.
BTTT.
I voted for Trump last week, as there is nothing that could be said or done to convince me to vote for Clinton. There are plenty of people like me - on both sides.
It is frankly convient to put it in the mail, and not stand in long lines on a work day, that for me begins at 8:30 AM, and doesn’t end until 5 or 6 PM.
We should give the Democrats one thing: two days of voting on a Saturday and Sunday.
In exchange: no vote by mail, no electronic voting, no early voting except in extreme cases, and voter ID required.
But even the RINO's who run the GOP wouldn't fight for such commonsense ideas.
I have always waited until Election Day.
But ... with today’s technology I think voting should all be done on-line. Skype the Registrar of Voters to register, providing your vitals including valid ID and last 4 digits of SS#. The registrar would compare your mug to your state ID database picture to verify you are you. Get your PIN to access your ballot. Then vote at any time and change your vote as many times as you want up to midnight on Election Day. Polling would be obsolete, as the actual data for any issue or candidate would be available all through the process, with your ballot opening up months before the first Primaries. As issues come up, the effect on the race would be immediately available for everyone to see. If something comes up at the last minute, you change your vote and there is no room for buyer’s remorse.
Same goes for government workers. Obvious conflict of interest.
Isn’t that just a health insurance plan people paid premiums into for 40 years ? Like any other insurance, what you get back out is paid for by somebody else, not directly from you own premiums.
Of course, it is badly run by people with no regard to setting rates based on actuarial data, but that is hardly the customer’s fault.
That's why the left is so adamantly in favor of early voting.
The same can be said about not requiring ID; it undermines fair elections. Again, the left is adamantly opposed to voter ID laws.
The left has been Voter Fraud, Inc. for decades and will continue to be as long as the right lacks the balls to collect, compile, and present the evidence, and prosecute those responsible.
Unfortunately, many Clinton voters might have said the same thing last week and are now wishing they could change it. Internet voting where you have to log on to your ballot with voter ID and password but can change your vote any time before the cutoff would be convenient and flexible. Just need to move voter ID measures to Skype when registering to vote so they can check your image against your state DMV in real time before giving you your password/PIN.
Amen
Gives dems weeks to vote again and again in toss up states
Early voting should be ended for obvious reasons.
My family too. This would be like celebrating Thanksgiving in October. What’s the point? (I understand some families have to have Thanksgiving dinner perhaps early or later due to family obligations). But this early voting stuff is crazy. I like going to vote on election day. It is much more exciting to do so my self.
Democrats like early voting because it lets them know how many ballots they need to “produce” on Election Day.
There was a time when the USA had a single day for voting and absentee ballots for those who could not vote on election day.
We are a lawless country.
Early voting allows more opportunity for voter fraud, is unfair to surging candidates, and, overall, makes the results less convincing.
Are there any other countries that support early voting? How are they doing?
Voting again and again, under multiple identities, without cutting in to meth-cooking, siesta and midnight basketball.
Same here. Early voting was set up just to help the Rats steal elections.
Voter ID, no absentee ballots, vote in person, on election day, and purple fingers if that’s what it takes to insure an honest election.
Not enough time to read.
Totally against this banana-republic Democrat weaseling action.
OK, good points all, but what about....
WHO IS DEAD **ON** ELECTION DAY, AND ARE THEIR PRIOR VOTES TOSSED OUT?
We complain about the dead voting; well here you are. Why should it be more than 24 hours window to vote? Where does it end? Now, we still have official Elections on 2nd Tuesday in Nov. People can vote, then die before ED! This ain’t right.
Sorry to say, but the horrible bus crash here yesterday made me think of this again. How many of those now suddenly dead voted early, and still get a say even though it is not 1TuesNov?
Yes. I think I looked it up on Wiki and was dismayed not only at our system, but all over. Not surprising, though, as so many are not truly great systems.
