During my 20 years in the Army I voted via absentee ballot, thus had always sent it in more than 2 weeks before the election. Otherwise, I’ve voted on election day until last week, when I voted in the early voting for the first time. I expect to return to my normal election day pattern by the next election. And I’ve always been against early voting that the Dems have pushed in their states. And I’m also against “motor voter” registrations.
Too late. I absolutely oppose this early voting nonsense.
I kind of which Trump had countered with something like this: "Every time I quote Joe, he says I took him out of context. The only context I'm thinking about is the context of what's good for America and the American people. I don't know what context Joe thinks will make his ideas sound sensible."
Yeah, even Welker realized Biden had just made a screw up of epic proportions that could very well cost him the election. She opened the door wide and tried to give him an out to save himself by saying he misspoke, but Biden instead doubled down.
There was a story one of the Fox News anchors tweeted about how at the moment that exchange occurred, one of the NBC staffers in the shared press room facepalmed and turned toward one of the other staffers and said, "Well it's going to be a long four years during Trump's second term."
At his upcoming rallies Pres Trump should remind early voters that they can change their votes. The procedure varies from state to state, but surely there will be some Bidet remorse
Hilarious.... this was so predictable.
Joe never had a chance.He ran to stay out of jail.Stupid Joe turned out to be smart Joe at the debates.Trump owns this election.
A major paper in ABQ just endorsed the GOP candidate for senate from NM.
Good info post. Thanks.
There was no way I could get off work in time to vote with my current job, so I voted early for the first time in my life.
It took 2 hours; the line was around three sides of the building
The last time I voted it took 15 minutes.
Maybe, but this story was posted here on FR at 8:24 PM Eastern, which would have been 7:24 Central. I don't think the debate had started at that point:
Overheard in debate room from a well-known correspondent from a leading anti-Trump network
That story contained this quote: "It’s going to be a long 2nd term."
In fairness, a lot of liberals were probably thinking this last night.
My guess is that most early votes are very hard supporter votes. Doubt Trump lost any in that group.
As you say, some states have a backup system. That is, they’re organized enough to be able to pull up the voter’s ID and find the record and change the vote.
One thing I have found interesting n these discussions is the wildly varying regulations, conditions, etc. from state to state or even county to county.
I live in Florida and I voted early and because I voted for Trump, I have no reason to change it!
I’m afraid they might use Covid or something else to shut down voting on Election Day.
Want to change your vote? Some states say no problem

....Among the states that do allow voters to change their early ballot after it’s been cast are: Wisconsin; Minnesota; Michigan; Pennsylvania; New York; Connecticut; and Mississippi....
See #37
Yup, or worse. They simply don't think they should lose. Ever.
If they could, they would touch off a nuclear attack from North Korea to screw up election day. Blame it on Trump of course.
I like to early vote because my job can take me out of town on Election Day.
I never vote for ANY DemoRat so might as well be a carved in stone ballot.
