Early voting works out much better for the Democrats. I hate it. I hate the proliferation of absentee ballots which used to be just for the infirm or elderly. Now it’s a tool for scamming the system.

Whatever happened to Election Day being election day? You got the day off from work or half a day off. Where I live early voting has greatly increased the costs of election. I read that each early voting location costs $50,000

Unlike in 2008 when 7,372 people flocked to the polls on the first day of the 14-day cycle, long lines were nearly non-existent, said county Elections Supervisor Susan Bucher.

While she said early voting hasn't lived up to its promise of increasing voter turnout since it was launched in 2004, she encourages people to vote early because it's expensive and they pay for it. She estimates early voting costs roughly $50,000 per location - or $400,000 in Palm Beach County.
