I detest early voting for lots of reasons. However, where it exists we must change our thinking and get our voters out early as well.
Right now it is like a boxing match where one opponent wins the first 14 rounds and we have to win by knockout in the 15th.
We need to press our legislatures to do away with early voting where it exists.
It should be so simple:
You must register to vote at prescribed locations with it notarized by staff in-person.
Vote on one day.
Show ID before getting a ballot.
Dip your finger in ink.
Every 365 days rolls are purged of those no longer living or those that have moved. If you move you MUST register again.
That is all of the election reform you need. And the majority of the cost is the darn ink!
