One advantage of enlongated voting is that it does give time for these voting machines with ‘problems’ or other ‘anomalies’
to thoroughly surface. I gave out the last 4 digits of my SSN to poll workers this morning, for example, and only later discovered it was probably a last minute poorly thought out procedure that was beginning to get coverage. Reading up on it first probably wouldn’t have made the same decision on election day.
That’s another reason (in addition to the possibility of major disruptions from weather, etc, on Election Day) why an extended voting period (minimum two weeks IMO) should be standard procedure.
