Early voting in Presidential elections should be made illegal because it is against the Constitution that specifies one day to be Pesidential elections day which is the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November.
I strongly believe that one of the most important factors if not the most important factor that we lost this elections is due to early voting. It is a certain way for cheating and fraud.
Most of the battleground states were lost because of the early voting. The democrats amassed the necessary votes in the early voting to win. That is how they won Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, Nevada, and Virginia. Without the early voting I am confident that they would have lost.
The Republicans who control state legislatures should make it illegal to have early voting in their states. Also our side should go the courts and make this fraud process called early elections totally illegal on the national level.
Let’s change that headline to dead people and multiple voting in elections should be made illegal.....
I agree.
Damn straight! I live in Columbus and watched this farce for weeks.
I completely agree. How did this pass any constitutionality test? Was it ever challenged?
The Constitution clearly and specifically states that the election will be held on ONE day in all states... the same day.
I’m with you, pal. Where do I sign up?
I agree 100%! The Constitution is very clear on this. Someone please “be harmed” and bring suit.
I’m no fan of early voting either. Democrats shouldn’t have so many chances to cheat.
agree also
Early voting, dead people and multiple voting, cheating on recounts, federal funding of corrupt community organizers...
our elections have become a mockery right brfore our very eyes.
We need to start pushing Republicans who control local state legislatures to make sure that no early voting should occur in their state. On a parallel track we should ask conservative groups to bring law suits to the courts to stop this illegal early voting.
That's because they voted by mail, then again in person on election day. We probably beat them in turnout, but they beat us by multiple voting. The biggest failure of the Bush administration and the Republican majority congress was their inaction on legislation which would have better protected our electoral system. There were plenty of examples of why such legislation was necessary, after the 2000 and then the 2004 elections.
I have been saying this right along. Also I think absentee voting should be reserved for military personnel only. Everyone else show up at the polls on election day or do not vote.
(In cases of extreme hardship, IE: a severe physical handicap of some sort there could be exceptions made on a case by case basis. But it should be RARE rather than common.)
Early voting and absentee voting makes vote fraud too easy and should be done away with.
Agreed, it just makes voter fraud easier.
I also think the arbitrary decisions to keep polling places open longer should be stopped.
I agree, I voted early in Florida in 2004, Bush beat Kerry and no one from our side complained.
Yes, absentee ballots should only be permitted to our military serving overseas.
