This should get mighty interesting....

I have yet to see any valid legal reason for this "early voting" crap. The Congress has the power to declare when Presidential elections are. It shall be the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, PERIOD. No other time. How can this mess be legal at all??

Setting up a booth right outside the voting place????...that's against the law right there....the Rats should be fined for that....you cannot solicit any campaign literature within so many feet from the entrance of the voting location...however I can't remember how many feet.....

I voted Sunday at the parking lot of my grocery store where a temporary building was set up. No wait, no fuss. A demo was given of the electronic voting machine, a reminder to look for the propositions also on the board was given, there no one outside to harrass me (lucky for them). It was fabulous!

I asked about what kind of ID I had to show since my voting address and driver's license address were different. I only had to show my voter registration card. They did say that if one of the addresses was outside the polling area, I would have to swear and sign an affidavit.

No illegals are voting here in Texas.

What about the people passing out campaign literature outside the doors of polling places? This is traditional.

During normal voting times, you would be correct, however, this stipulation was somehow overlooked when they set up the early voting...I would guess the Dims had a hand in this being "overlooked".

It's for political purposes - to make it easier for the 'Rats to "vote early & vote often".

Be sure to wear your button with pride. Don't let the Leftist thugs win.

I believe the number of feet depends on the state.

Bush sent a letter back to Cowles saying "voter intimidation is a crime [and] supervisors should remove people who are intimidating voters."

Can say for a certainty the wife isn't going to stand for this at her site...

What's the deal with these crowded polling places???

I've NEVER waited more than a few minutes to vote...and I live in the second largest city in the nation...

It normally takes me a lot longer IN THE BOOTH (I've always 'double checked my work' which would also save people a LOT of headaches) than the time it takes me to wait in line for one to open up...

Does Florida only have one polling place in the entire freakin' state, or do they put the voting booths INSIDE the Pirates of the Caribbean?

Post #7 has the correct answer. The no campaigning zones exist on the the regular election day, but they don't apply at the early voting polls.

I don't see the problem with it. I'm a legal voter and don't mind swearing that I am. If you are an illegal and can be prosecuted for lying, seems okay to me.

Early voting works very well in Texas and makes it easier for someone to work voting into their schedule rather than having to make time on a workday.

If anything, I think it favors Republicans because we are more likely to have a job and need at least 9 hours on Tuesday in fulfilling our jobs (including travel time).

Just because Floridians are behind the curve and didn't forsee some of these problems doesn't mean the concept is bad. It just means they need more tweaking.
