This early voting crap is stupid. I can understand some legit reasons for it but the chance for fraud is too risky to chance it. If people can make it to the polls than go in persons.
My dad is 72. He said, "As long as we can walk in, why vote absentee?"
Look at Georgia 08 (Collins/Marshall). It is called for Marshall but the vote is still close with more votes yet in some Republican areas. Again, when do the mail ins get counted?
Early voting hurts the GOP unless those votes are counted, along with absentees, during the Election Day count itself. Otherwise, it hurts us badly on election night and gives the media more excuses to spin for the RATS.
Alot of people in Arizona live elsewhere for part of the year and vote here when the snowbird it back, which in JD's hood is prime snowbird winter home area. Thats why he has so many absentee ballots,
