The Constitution doesn't require an "election day" for voting in the various states; it only requires that Congress agree on a day on which the Electoral College electors from every state are submitted to the Vice President for certification. So, it might be your preference that everybody vote in person on one day, but that doesn't mean you made any sort of salient point.
No early voting. It just provides too much opportunity for cheating. The whole problem is a chain of custody and monitoring problem. Machines and ballots left overnight for weeks have a much greater chance of being tampered with. We need valid elections.
Early voting is fine. In fact I voted Early this year for the 1st time. Same ballot as if I voted on election day, put it into the same machine and it was counted immediately. What isn't right is the drop boxes where stacks of ballots can be shoved in there with no accountability, no verification. That shit had to go. 1 person 1 vote.
fuck chain of custody. Machines, ballots, and election officials are inherently flawed. I need to deliver my vote to the capitol building and demand my results or else.
We are over a week past election day and many races are not called. That is a problem. Allowing people this much time to cure ballots is an issue. Ripe for fraud.
when i was in college i worked the polls. we had everything counted within a half an hour of closing. i would call the newspaper and tell them the results from our precinct. we were out of there within an hour after polls closing. i dunno what the fuck is taking eternity.
Two solutions to early voting problems: 1. Early votes counted upon receipt 2. Mail in ballots in hand by the time the polls close These late decided races are due to laws passed restricting the counting of early ballots and allowing mail in votes to be counted if postmarked by Election Day. I have voted by mail “forever” and my opinion (you certainly don’t have to agree) it is a vastly superior way to vote. But I sure as Hell get my ballot in long before Election Day.
Agree on both! As I said I voted early for the first time ever and it was run almost exactly like election day except they had to find the ballot for my precinct. It was fed into the machine and counted immediately. Mail in I'm not a fan of. I'm assuming you had to put your name on it, sign it all of that jazz to prove who you are. There is just too many ways for people to cheat with mail in. I know some of you low iq folks don't see it that way it's just the facts. What bothered me about early voting is I had to sign an affidavit saying I wouldn't vote again. That wasn't the problem, the problem was could I have voted again? I'm betting that I could have and they wouldn't have known until it was too late. I will be raising this issue with our election commission as I see it as something that must be addressed. In the end, we need to nail it down to one person = 1 vote. No dead people and only people that live in the state, get rid of the illegal shit but dems will never go for it. What is going to happen instead is the Republicans are going to start doing the same shit. Then it really gets out of hand.
Don't agree with #1, early vote counts will get leaked, feels unfairly influential to later voting. Agree with #2 and would also say that mail-in ballots must be requested by voters, not just sent out to whoever the state thinks "needs" them.
