Early voting has really changed the game. And it seems like not every candidate has been fully cognizant of that fact. In Nevada it was what, 2/3s that voted early? That really hurt Warren, she did get a bounce from kneecapping Bloomberg but it was too late.
I know you’ve expressed opposition to it in the past. Do you think it could hurt us in the general election?
I’ve started doing it, I used to go on election day right at 6 AM. I just wish jerks passing out pamphlets had been aware. ;-p
Of course Early Voting will hurt us in the GE. Anything that increases turnout among college students and people on the dole will help the Democrats.
But my opposition to Early Voting is primarily due to the fact that it does away with the basic democratic principle that the government should be elected by a majority at a particular moment in time with the same information available to all.
