Frankly, I debated some on voting early. My basic gut feeling is/was that voting early would give Democrat-controlled elections officials more time to manufacture “The Big Cheat”. I’m sure this is why Democrats are so enamored of early voting. Time to cheat.
Here in my county, Democrats are far outnumbered by Republicans and the elections are fair because of picture IDs and not some phone bill (imagine that).
So I went and voted early. Our county newspaper has already remarked about the heavy turnout in early voting.
I voted yesterday. The turnout looked pretty heavy in this conservative region (TX panhandle) as well. The poll workers were using a scanner to scan photo id’s like driver’s licenses. They scan the driver’s license and have your info including whether or not you’ve already voted. This process looks reasonable to me.
You have a point. A cheater doesn’t want the other side to have time to think.
