If you're not -- if you're like me, a native-born American who became eligible to vote upon turning 18 -- you didn't "earn" that right, you were blessed with it.
And NO American "earns" the right to jeopardize the integrity of the voting process for the sake of mere personal convenience. One should at least SUSPECT that the whole "early voting" phenomenon is a tool to enable manipulation of votes and voter turnout, since it can really have no other purpose.
Convenience is a function of the competitive marketplace; it is what producers offer the purchasers of their products in a free market to get more customers. Providing convenience is a function of, and one of the most excellent side effects of, capitalism.
VOTING is not presented by, directed by, nor determined by a free market, and when the government strives to present it to you as if it was by striving to make it "convenient," then red flags should be going up all over.
Let me tell you one damned thing!!!
I “earned” my right to vote too!!!
