People like you should be asked to submit evidence of having to travel a lot. Then you are eligible for an absentee ballot. One of the few, absentee ballots should should be rare and for the ill and elderly. Show up on the real election day was good enough 10 years ago and is good enough today

No pre-voting days 10 years ago. We have cheapened elections same as we have cheapened American citizenship by allowing illegal immigration and legal immigration of illiterate and poor 3rd worlders

People like you need to be pointed out, outed as idiots, and laughed at, publically.

Almost half of the people at the business I work for will be out of state, on election day.
Since I will be the designated head honcho “in charge” while they are gone, I may not be able to leave at my regularly scheduled time, depending upon what comes up that needs to be dealt with.(Yes, I will be compensated for any unexpected overtime)
On election day, when my assigned precinct opens at 7:00 am, I will already be 20 minutes drive time away taking my child to school.
To go back to my polling place and vote before I go to work will require me to waste gas, and possibly be late to work.
Since I have the only keys to open the gates and the building, it's a fairly big issue in my company if I am late to work.
God forbid there might be a traffic problem/accident between me and my work, or between me and my home precinct after work.

I don't know or care how you live your day.
My normal workday starts with an alarm clock wake-up at 5:30AM.
After work and paced errands, I expect to be back home by 6:00PM, barring any traffic problems.
Polls close at 7:00PM.

If all else is normal, I have a single one hour opportunity window to vote on election day.

You, sir or madamn, are not so cordially invited to KMA regarding your opinion of early and absentee voting opportunities.
