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.
