And what happens to those mail in votes when Slo Joe dies from old age just before the election?
That's the concern I've had with this trend for early voting that has become more prevalent in the past few elections.
I feel you should be voting for the candidate and his position on matters on the day of the election. Voting weeks in advance of the election doesn't give you the opportunity to make an up to the minute informed decision.
People have gotten lazy and just want to phone it in as they bitch and moan about long lines at the polling place, but if you aren't willing to put in a little effort and wait in line on election day then perhaps democracy is too much work for you and you should sit the election out.
