3/4's of them were wrong, uninformed or misinformed.

They didn't have the information from the last two debates or gleamed from Hunter Biden's laptop treasure trove.

... In other words, Just the way the DNC/ MSM wanted it.

this is about turnout

and stopping fraudulent votes through the courts

we need 110% turnout in fraud prone areas like Philly and Las Vegas

we need people who don't normally vote to turn out or actually mail in

I'd bet 40+ million Dems vote prior to election day whereas I'd guess only half or so of Trump voters will vote early.

If Dems aren't way up in swing states on Nov. 3rd there's going to be a lot of sky screaming.

And 35 million of those will vote again on Election Day with no way to prove otherwise

Early voting is stupid

My wife and I voted in person last week.

I like early voting because voting is important to me, and I don't know what election day will hold.

I'm not talking about protest at the polls or anything dramatic, but things like work, and kids sports practice.

I like voting when I can and picking a day and time that works for me.

I was in a group of several suburban white women/mothers that had either voted early or had planned to just because they didn’t want to deal with any potential chaos on Nov 3.

ETA: By voting early I mean walking in to a local government building and physically voting, not by mail.

I would be fine with voting over several days. I think an Election Week would perhaps be a good thing. Have the polling stations open Monday through a Saturday the first full week in November.

I think you should have to show in person to vote, no mail in voting beyond a set period and upon request, and required to show voter id.

I know WHY people like early voting, but it's still bullshite. We have an election day... not an election week, or election month, or election season.

If you have a medical issue, are elderly, or have some other legitimate reason for getting an absentee ballot, ok. If you live overseas, are in the military, etc., no problem.

If you're just worried that you can't take a few minutes out of the TWELVE HOURS most states keep their polling locations open so you can vote, then you're probably not concerned enough to make sure your vote counts.

I will be fair, however, and say that Election Day should be a national holiday when most people have off work, and if you are in a job where you have to work that day, there should be a provision in the law that allows you to go into work late, leave early, take an extra break, etc. to go vote that day.

Simple enough, no excuses.

Week long federal holiday? I have no choice but to allow it.

**State holiday, excuse me.

I always vote early. I pay attention and do not need up to election day to decide.

If that means I miss an "October Surprise", that is the other candidates problem.

Better hope there’s a lot more to come on Election Day. Most numbers I’ve seen continue to favor dems in early voting.

65% of dems have indicated that they will vote early or by mail while 28% of Republicans said the same.
