Thinking about the vote-by-mail strategy of the DemoKKKrats, I began to wonder about the sociology/behavior of people who have already voted.
Laying aside the whole issue of whether we should have it---I doubt there is any going back---my question is:
*Does a person who voted by mail early continue to donate? *Does such a voter still encourage others to go to the polls? *Does such a voter work for the party making calls or take the attitude of "I already voted. Out of my hands."?
I have been polled three times in the past 3 weeks, none (that I could tell) by a major firm. The last poll, however, came after I had voted but didn't ask if I had already voted.
Then the questioner began to ask issue oriented questions, such as "If Mark Kelly supports x, would that make you more or less likely to vote for him?"
Well, someone is paying for these polls. I cannot give an answer that makes any sense at all---because they are asking about a future action dependent on someone else's future action for a PAST event. In this area alone, the polls are significantly off or failing to capture reality. Academics who want to be honest should review all this after the election and see what really happened.
I wish my state CT had early voting. I don’t trust mail in voting at all.
I voted by absentee ballot in CT because of the virus.
Being a disabled housebound military veteran, my only access is by absentee ballot.
Do I ‘do’ anything else? No, because I hold to the conviction that how another American citizen votes, is no business of mine, or anyone else.
Right, but then were you
1) as likely
2) more likely
3) less likely to do any of the following?
*donate
*volunteer for a campaign
*encourage others to vote
*watch news or follow the campaign?
These were be good things to know.
The best way to end polls is to stop responding to polls.

Do you stay locked down 24/7 and don’t get out and about?
Maybe CT is locked down I don’t know.
No it isn’t.
If you hand carry the vote yourself and drop it off at an official drop box. Then your vote would be the same as a voting booth. Most states have a policy to notify you on the status of your mail in vote.
Colorado went to all mail several cycles ago. However, we have the option of dropping the ballots into a secure drop box. I have a box about five blocks from my house, so that’s where I put my ballot.
Connecticut does not offer an early voting period. If you will be unable to vote in person on Election Day, you can request an absentee ballot by mail or by visiting your local election office.
Pretend it’s a future vote... because in reality it is. Won’t be counted until it arrives
My rabid niece just came back into country to Colorado.
She bragged on Fakebook that she registered to vote online and early voted by email.
Is this correct for Colorado?
Can do as she said in Colorado. Wife did the same. Or you can vote in person instead mail if you desire.
I am living in a combination PT and nursing home facilities in Hartford, CT.
That may be how you treat it.
I’m asking, do you think that’s how the average “early” voter treats it?
Vote by email?
I signed up for an early ballot a while back in Arizona but I always take it to my polling location on Election Day because I wanna make sure it gets there. I’m in Pinal County now which has become reliably red since 2000, but I still don’t wanna take any chances with my vote.
Thanks. I wish the best for you. I spent a few months up in the
Northeast many years ago. I was in the Armed Forces and stationed
in the Brooklyn Naval Yard. I never got up to CT though.
The real problem with absentee voting and early voting is that things happen before the election. All this stuff about Biden in the New York Post is coming too late for many people to think again about their vote for the Liar and the Commie.
