Vote early and often, huh?

If you can show me evidence that early voting leads to voting fraud (and no I'm not talking about 0.00001% of cases) then I'll change my tune.

I don't need you to change your tune. Stick to your guns if you wish.
I am saying there is zero reason for early voting.

It allows for greater voter participation which is reason enough.
blkbkrider t1_it2x1vc wrote
Absentee ballots cover that.
anything else allows for fraud. Anyone, regardless of party affiliation, can stuff the ballot box. If you disagree you have much greater faith in humanity than I do.

Really? There's tons of it. All you have to do is look.
Why do you want to increase the opportunity for fraud?
Here's one, I can go on all day
On the flip side, perhaps you can demonstrate a need?

D'oh!
But I'm glad you agree one case is enough to enact policy. Which is why I support removing guns from the hands of law abiding citizens because clearly, we have too much faith in humanity for people to own guns and if even a super minority of people commit heinous tragedies like Uvalde or the killing of 2 Bristol cops then we can't take any chances, right?

Then...you gotta get those pesky guns from criminals. Good luck.
So, one yes vote for early voting and one no vote.
You still have not demonstrated a need for it. Just because?

“conspiring to violate voting rights by fraudulently stuffing the ballot boxes for specific candidates in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 primary elections, bribery of an election official, falsification of records, voting more than once in federal elections, and obstruction of justice.”
Your article has nothing to do with early voting leading to voter fraud.

You think he did that on election day?
I have a bridge for sale if you're interested. It's a really nice bridge! :D

why do 46 other states allow it if it is susceptible to fraud?
G3Saint t1_it32if1 wrote
No, it's vote early. pretty simple.
blkbkrider t1_it33w5n wrote
Yes but, why? I have yet to see a compelling reason. Every other state doing it is not a good reason.
Can I vote in April if November just doesn't work for me?
G3Saint t1_it35yig wrote
The reason why is because it gets more people to vote. You can early vote in accordance with the early voting regulation, it will have a specified time interval. There is no reason for not allowing early voting.

Your weird distinctions between early voting and absentee voting is silly, Early voting is absentee voting, it's just expanding it to more people. Why is that a problem?
blkbkrider t1_it4s964 wrote
Well you just said it. If Early voting is absentee voting then nothing more needs to be done.
Sorted. Thank you. :)

You must have missed the expanding it to more people part lol

You must have missed the completely unecessary part.
