What is the rational behind vote early? I thought we DIDN'T want to broadcast how many ballots the cheaters needed to pre-print.

I've been trying to figure out the rational why we are being called upon to vote early. Here is the potential rational as I see it.

Early voting has the benefit of positive publicity before the election can be rigged while also allowing the Trump campaign to know where it needs to focus its attention.

These points are valid but I fear that they provide the cheaters ample time to print off extra ballots. I've heard some say that this level of blatant cheating as seen in 2020 is being mitigated by an over abundance of lawyers at the polling locations. If that's the case then couldn't Kamala's campaign merely use the early polling results to simply import more illegal immigrant voters to the locations where they're believe they're needed most?

That last question begs one more question that I have yet to get an adequate answer from anyone in the know to address my concerns. Do the polling estimates (not the early voting data but the *ESTIMATES*) factor in the illegal voters when referencing their "close election" claims?

If they DO, then all those polling estimates which say that election is SO very close is merely political hackery to legitimize the numbers after illegals have voted.

If they DON'T factor in the illegal voters then I believe this is giving the Trump voter a false sense of security.

There are other shenanigans in play, but I believe the MASSIVE number of illegals given allowance to vote is the democrat's main game plan this election season. I believe Trump has the GENUINE votes to win but to bring this election home he has to make the outcome "too big too rig". Thankfully, it appears (thus far) that he has the numbers to do it.

If so, why vote early. Doesn't that make it easier for Kamala & company to direct the illegal voters? What am I missing?

I’ll add to that, to lock in votes in case there are any last-minute gaffs that would change the voters’ minds.

The current thinking on this issue is that once the registrar knows that you have voted, the local GOTV effort knows it need not spend money nor time contacting you and urging you to vote.

I guess it just depends upon whether you believe the absence of votes before the actual vote, presumably on election night, clues the opposition into how many “fake” votes they need to prevail, or the theory that I stated above.

The early ballots can be lost or discarded just as easily as the ones filled in on election day.

I don’t think it matters when a Trump vote gets there. What matters is that people who want Trump vote.

Here is why. The democrats and the Chinese plan on using the voter roles to vote for people who don’t vote. Sure, the will have to wait until late, maybe stop the counting, add the pre-printed ballots some of which are counterfeit, and get rid of the observers, but it can be done.

If you have already voted, they can’t steal your vote.

That begs another question, is it better to cast your ballot at a conservative voting location to confirm your ballot will be included properly but risk a “broken” ballot counter or problematic pens or incorrectly sized ballots (as shown in 2020.

Rational is an adjective. Rationale is the noun you’re looking for.

Kelly, imagine your job is to call 1,000 people and get them to do something. Would you be more successful if you called 100 people a day for ten days, or if you waited until the last day and tried to call all 1,000? What if 100 of those people needed ride? Could you give 100 rides over 10 days? What if you had to do it in one day, wouldn’t that be harder? Last question, imagine you had 10 days, but waited to the last day, and it was raining, or snowing, or the power went out. Would you wish you spread your work out over the 10 previous days?

One other way to think about it. Imagine you are in competition with a fellow employee. Your boss gives your 1 day to get 1,000 people to their job. Your boss gives your fellow employee 10 days to get 1,000 people to their job. Whoever gets the most people gets a raise, and whoever gets fewer gets fired.

Kelly, you are fired.

Puts less pressure on getting good turnout on Election Day. I’m in - I’ll be heading down to the local community college tomorrow, filling out a ballot and casting my vote for Trump/Vance and Ted Cruz as long as my free hour in the morning is not filled with another work meeting.

Dunno.

I can’t pick where to go. My polling place is fixed/assigned by where I live.

Mostly because those parroting this are idiots. I see Bongino doing it. The steal happened because the Libs figure out how many votes in early voting, then they manufacture enough to win. I say, vote on election day.

The rationale is and always has been that there are lazy people on both sides of the fence. If you make arrangements so that the lazy people on one side of the fence can vote because the scheduling has been made easier and the ballot can be dropped off conveniently and the other side does not take advantage of that, then that other sides a lazy voters are not going to be captured.

If you let only the other side capture their lazy voters you’re going to lose.

One minor quibble. It’s spelled rationale.

“too big too rig” is early voting and the hype that goes with vote canvassing.

We need to demoralize the cheaters into deciding they don’t want to participate in the cheating because it’s gotten too big. They need to fear the majority.

Plus, there is a certain amount of low info voters who just want to vote for the winner, so we need to make DJT that person.

On the other hand, a huge number of people in Arizona were told the machine wouldn’t scan their ballot. Or the machines were broken. They were redirected to other locations. Some had extremely long lines or otherwise made it difficult to vote.

So banking your vote is probably a good idea.

In case something is planned for Election Day, like power blackouts or a terrorist attack that would shut down voting.

Did you forget what happened in Arizona? Machines breaking down, running out of paper. I voted two weeks ago. I’m not taking any chances.
