Can it be done statutorily? It says in the Constitution which day election day is.
I’d say we should just make it a holiday and ban all early voting, absentee OK for deployed troops and government officials. Maybe also if you can prove you’re in the hospital or otherwise medically indisposed.
At the rate we’re going, it won’t matter unless Trump is elected tomorrow. Democrats will be having people voting by smartphone soon if we can’t stop this trend.
I am in Pennsylvania and there is no early voting here.
We have absentee ballots. I was going to be out of the state one year on Election Day and had to vote absentee. You had to swear out an affidavit that you would be unable to go to the polls on that day for a specific reason.
Seemed entirely reasonable to me.
The Constitution specifies the Electoral College, not the general election. There is no Constitutional provision for a popular vote for president at all
Federal law does specify election day, and courts have held there is no objection to early voting as long as no votes are assigned to a candidate before election day.
My husband and I voted onetime absentee because we flew to Upstate New York for a Family Reunion.
You mean by someone taking a picture of you laying on the operating table or laying in the hospital bed and someone taking the picture to the election commission?
I think it might be nice to combine election day with Veteran’s Day. It’s what they all fought for.
But a better idea would be to combine it with Tax Day. I’d love to see people voting on April 15 when their taxes are due. It would remind them of what their elected officials are doing.
