Absolutely correct! One would wonder if we are in the covered wagon era!
Grassroots conservatives turn out big in TEXAS, especially ON ELECTION DAY in a sea change election.
Who benefits from long, drawn out, early voting is the Democrat machine, given time to round up Houston, DFW, etc., low ‘fo voters. Period.
Trading “convenience” for benefiting your own political opposition and increasing the risk for corrupting your ballot is, well, stupid.
How many times have candidates been blown up only to leave all early voters at the station, with no recourse but loss of their vote, or the whole dang box of early ballots?
Recommending early voting always needs a caveat, a tutorial on the obvious political risk and shenanigans caused by extremely early voting, a practice that needs to stop.
Refer to my post 92 and 94.

In the Texas Election Code, there is a law that says once the ballots are printed, no change can happen. There is a cut off date for registering as a candidate and that name gets printed on the ballot.
We had a candidate for Republican county judge and he died in September but his name could not be removed from the ballot. This dead candidate almost won over the Democrat on election day in November.
