Early voting is a liberal conduit for fraud.

Oh relax. Early voting is a Republican invention - a convenience issue for people who have to work on Tuesdays (unlike libs).

States that have early voting: Utah, Idaho, Nebraska, Kansas

States that do not have early voting: Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Michigan.

As for fraud, fraud potential is greatest on election day -- when hordes of people show up all at once at thousands of polling places. When somebody votes in advance there's time to check a voter for fraud.

Was very common in the 1800s for the similar reasons that you gave. An agrarian society, farmers infrequently came to town. Common to be able to vote for up a month prior to election day for this reason. In other words, the producers didn’t have the luxury of the moochers to vote on just one day.

Not quite. In the past, you were supposed to have an actual reason for absentee/early voting.

I don't give a “rats tail” whose bright idea it was to allow so called “early voting”, IT IS WRONG AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED, EXCEPT for hardship , unavoidable reasons, such as illness....otherwise people, get off your lazy duffs and go vote on one designated day....PERIOD. This voting thing has gotten ridiculous in this country...a invitation for the political thugs to make their way out of the political slime and tamper with the outcome of our voting....think about it...and ask yourselves...what does this say about a lot of the perspective LEGAL voters in this country?? That you are too damned lazy to get out and go VOTE on a designated day. It has gotten so bad, that there are those who not only vote early, but who want the drive thru voting, so they don't have to get out of their car....and why are we NOT OUTRAGED at these acts that make it so darned easy to manipulate the votes.
I wonder if there was some regret by those who rushed out to vote right ahead of the Lybia fiasco. Hey, how do you like being lied to by the Administration.....do you have any early voter regret??? Will you even allow yourself to go there in your mind???
