It seems deliberately confusing to me since there is no fundamental difference between voting now and voting on the day of the deadline, but the way it’s discussed and referred to seems to imply that the correct day to vote would be waiting until the last minute instead of voting just getting it out of the way weeks ahead of time.
I’ve voted 'early, in every election I’ve participated in. For as long as I’ve known, which is about to be 4 presidential and all of the elections in between, the polls have always been open for weeks.
That’s approaching 20 years, I don’t think it’s a new concept really at this point.
…20 years…4 presidential elections?
Did you miss a few? Or am I worse at math than I thought?
Sorry 15 years 2010 midterm and forward.
It’s a state-level policy, and there were a few states ahead of the curve.
I like to think we’re doing it right, and possibly setting an example for other states to follow. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/michigan-blazes-path-pro-democracy-reform
Not every state allows it and if they do it has to be a special reason in most states. So you must live in a lucky state or had an excuse every year
