don't "get" this whole early voting thing.


I don't know about elsewhere but, here in Texas, there are many folks who work on the 3 days on 4 days off, 12 hours schedual. Many of these are 6 am. to 6 pm., leaving little time for them to vote. I like it because it gives me time to vote during multiple work days or the weekends. Voting on a single day DOES disenfranchise many people who would normally vote.

Thanks, I hadn't thought about having to work nonstandard shifts as a reason for early voting, I've been self employed for too long.

I didn't say I was against early voting, just didn't understand it.

I still don't see how, or if, it differs from the existing mechanism of absentee voting, but it doesn't matter, you got to vote is the important thing.
