Folks, there can BE NO POSSIBLE REASON for "early voting" except as a means to manipulate turnout or votes down the road. If you can't plan your vacation or work schedule around the ONE day every two years that you vote, then forfeit your vote. My folks got into the habit of voting "absentee ballot" not because they would be gone on election day, but because they just didn't want to bother with going to the polls. THEY REGRET THAT NOW and like me, now believe that absentee ballots should re reserved for extreme exceptions.
As for "early voting" -- what a racket!
VOTING IS PRECIOUS and needs to be protected and kept exclusive, and the best way to protect against fraud and manipulation is to have everyone vote -- with showing of photo ID MANDATORY! -- on the same day.
If you don't value your voting franchise enough to go to some little trouble to exercise it, then you don't really need to vote.
But we know that early voting was designed just for the purpose of defrauding the vote. This is another area where the laws need to be REPEALED back to 2000.
You vote when you want, and I’ll vote when I want. We voted early, were required to show photo ID, and then signed under penalty of Perjury.
There was a wait of nearly 15 minutes. Our voter machines produce a printed audit trail, too.
I earned the right to vote whenever I’m legally permitted to do so. You’ve got a God given right to express your opinion and I’m willing to fight to the death to preserve that right.
It’s also my right to tell you that you’re full of crap. I’m exercising that right now.
Best,
L
Thanks for your opinion. I already voted.
