Not looking good for Clinton in FL, she's going to have to double down in Philadelphia voter fraud.

Did any of you guys see this last week?

I can't find it now, but it was a count of Colorado absentees received to date..... It had Trump at 30.6% and Clinton at 30.5%. They didn't mention it, but according to my math, that's 28.9% to third party. That made me go "WTF".

Makes sense out there, they like their pot heads. I'm sure that third was split among multiple alts, but I can see Johnson appealing to the CO tokers.

But what about the total number of early votes compared with 2012?

Maybe early voting is just more popular this time around.

I think it's breaking Trump. Or rather, early voting isn't as dismal for Trump as it was for Romney as Trump is going into election day in a shallower hole than Romney was.

Could it be that the sets of {pot smoking hippies}, {Gary Johnson voters}, and {people who vote early} have a lot of overlap?

I think early voting has gotten a lot more en vogue for sure. Why stand in line at a polling place if you don't have to?

A lot more opportunity for someone to delete/burn your ballot. That's my justification. IMO, there shouldn't be any early voting unless you provide a notarized request documenting your need.

From your earlier posts today I think we've established your paranoia, but I got an email from the state of CA that they had received my ballot and they even sent along an exit polling survey. So they got something from me. The army of illegals working at the post office probably replaced my ballot without my knowledge.

Oh, are you one of the folks who says election fraud doesn't exist? What does a receipt prove?

Also, if you're going to throw out a personal attack, at least correctly cite it.

Has the Constitutionality of early voting ever been confirmed? Article II states:
The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.
So if some states are having people vote on a day different that the day that congress has determined as Election Day (2nd Tuesday in November), how does that jive with Article II? Given all the liberal activist judges in the judiciary now, I realize that the Constitution is passe', but has anyone even tried to challenge this?

Early voting is more popular. After 2012, I decided I'm not standing in line for over an hour ever again just to vote.

I found out a week ago that I would be travelling for work on election day. Luckily it got cancelled. In the future I will probably always vote early in case I have to travel for work. Why should I have to get a request notarized. Who should notarize that I might need to travel?

The real question is, has it ever been challenged?

I hope I never have you as a member of a jury if I ever have to stand trial for something. You would be the kind that would make up your mind half way through the trial before all of the evidence was presented and the arguments were made.

Clearly.
To go further:
I would clearly not someone on my trial who was given two options and chose option B.
Option A: Do X but wait in line for 1 hour.
Option B: Do X but don't wait in line at all.

I find it odd that you think Option B is bad.

Waiting in line for over an hour just shows how much I want to vote and love this country!!!!!

Everyone should have an equal opportunity to vote. However, I think votes by the most interested people generally yield the best results. I was only half serious when I said notarized...but I firmly believe early voting should be the exception, not the rule.

Neil Boortz had a joke: when you go to vote, you should get two options:

1. A ballot, or;
2. $5 in scratch off tickets.

That "logic" was bad even by UWS standards.

Luckily if I leave work early and vote around 4 I have no lines. I must have one of the best precincts in VA in terms of registered voters per booth. If only I were patriotic I'd go vote at 7:30 AM and wait for about 30 minutes.

If I'm on trial, I want the person who's ok with missing dinner in order to make the right decision on my jury, not the guy who wants to rush home so he doesn't miss Matlock. I think the same quality is appropriate for the electorate.
