What is this guy talking about? I want absentee ballots limited to those who are unable to be present at their polling places on Election Day. Convenience is not for what absentee ballots were intended.

Absolutely agreed. I can't stand early voting. What I'd like to see is for the polls to open at midnight election day, and close at midnight. Everyone gets 24 hours to vote so they don't have excuses. The only legitimate reason for absentee voting is if you are out of the state/country, like many members of the military. I don't even really support the idea of providing absentee ballots for those folks who will be out of state on vacation. If voting is important enough, plan around it. It's not like we don't know what day the election will be held on far in advance.
