Waiting also limits fraud. You can’t vote 10 times if you have to wait. And wait. And wait. :-)

Thank you for that astute observation. We get the feeling so often these days that there are very few palpable forces out there staving off voter fraud.
Thank you again!

My friend, you have obviously never lived in Chicago (my home town). The slogan “vote early and vote often” was not a joke. It was an instruction to precinct captains.
They would go into the (old lever style) booths before voting started and pull the straight Dem party ticket until their arms were tired. The Daley Administration kept a close account of precinct-by-precinct voting. If you wanted to keep your cushy city job, you had to perform on election day.
