I vote on election day and we will one day rue this early voting cap.

There have been a couple of elections I actually missed because I had to work during election day. Not everybody works 8 hour shifts.

While I don't support early voting 100% because it can offer more opportunity for the other side to commit voter fraud, it also gives the working man more of an opportunity to cast his vote as well.

Here's the deal. If you can only vote on Tuesday within a particular time frame, republicans could actually lose votes of the working class (the ones who push the wagon) who cannot leave their jobs to vote. That leaves the riders of the wagon all the time in the world to vote at least once. They have nothing to do all day.

I would support a weekend election day instead of a Tuesday election.

If we could enforce the laws and increase dramatically the penalties for voter fraud, early voting would be an advantage to the republicans.

I voted already for 2012. Did it last month. That's ONE more car that will fit in the parking lot on tuesday for someone to vote and I could actually bring in a car full of voters on Tuesday (if I don't have to work)and wait in the car knowing that I do not have to stand in that long line.

It's more convenient. You, you will have to go there twice. Once for you to get your vote in and the second time to bring other voters to vote against Obama as well.

We need to use the recources we have (whether we agree with them or not) to OUR advantage. You can bet the opposition is doing it for Obama's advantage.

I’ll vote on election day, like it’s supposed to be, with my ID identifying my unique, singular right to vote. How can early or absentee voting, combined with the ability to register at the polls, not bastardize the system?

I totally understand the concept of the Election Day purists -— but God didn’t promise me tomorrow, only today, so I choose to use the opportunity just in case.

I’ll bet there are some folks on the Eastern seaboard who wish NOW that they had voted early if they had an opportunity!!!
