I'm sorry, but I'm old school...you should vote on election day, not any other. If you can make it out to vote early, you can make it on election day...

That would also cut down on voter fraud, a favorite dem function.

There is no eagerness to vote for Jug-Ears. More partisan blather from IBD.

Why not have "early Christmas" on the day after Thanksgiving, so we don't have to do all that stressful waiting until Christmas Eve to unwrap our presents. Can we Mom and Dad? CAN WE???

I vote early so when the pollsters call I can say I already voted and to leave me the Hades alone!

The Presidential campaigns should start on a certain date, should end on a certain date, and only then should voting be carried out on a certain date.

The way it is now there is too much room for fraud, both in early voting, and though the absentee ballot process. At it is now people can vote in New York and then drive to Florida and vote again. That's why the Democrats want as loose a voting process as possible.

I'm on the road, out of state on an irregular schedule, usually from Sunday afternoon til late Friday. Just by chance I happen to be home today and will cast an early vote for Romney this afternoon. Had I not been home I'd have had to take three vacation days to insure being home next Tuesday. I suspect that many early voters have equally valid reasons for using this option. I'd like to think that my right to cast a legal vote by this method is as constitutionally guaranteed as is the vote of those who know that they can vote on the first Tuesday in November.

I voted early, #1, so that if I get hit by a truck tomorrow I will have done my part to try to bring America back to freedom.

So do people using absentee ballots only vote on the prescribed day then mail them in and then we wait a week or two or three until they all show up and then we find out who one? Some people will be traveling or know that they will not be available on the day of the election to vote. You do realize that naval vessels do not simply pull into port so the sailors can vote, right?
States run elections. If a state wants early voting so be it. Seriously, now you want the big federal government demanding how the several states run their affairs? What happened to the importance of the 10th amendment.

If your absentee ballot didn't get where it needed to be by today, your vote won't be counted until 11/17.

There's a difference between 'early' voting and absentee voting.

Of corse, there should be provisions for voting absentee, but not because it's more convenient.

Get up early go to the polls before work. Leave work go to polls stand in line in dark to vote. Make an effort to vote. That's the way it use to be.

Put this back in place and see who wins elections. It may go a long way to solving some of our problems.

Because of the distance I had to travel to work, and the hours of voting in my area, the polls were closed both going to and coming home from work on the 2010 cycle.
Today I happened to go to the county building for another matter and while I was there I voted. There aren't a lot of democrats in my county.
