Should voting times be changed?

[hogwyld]

In light of the recent catasrophic storm, and the potiential impact on the election, should the states adopt the early voting model that many other states use? Many reliably blue states such as NY, PA, MN, WI, MI do not have early voting.

Also, how far in advance do you think voting should start if you like early voting.

1. I think it should be a combo of mail vote

and or on Saturday. That is when they vote in Australia, also the country that forces everyone to vote or fines you which gets 95% or more of everyone voting!

And my young friend who lives there said, that forces you to pay attention since you know you have to do it.

Fortunately for them paying attention is only a few months before prime minister is chosen, no commercials…god how wonderful that would be…no money in it!

3. I would love to get the money out

and limit the campaigning to start on January 1 of the election year. This 2 years or more of running is just way too much!

2. Yes, and "Election Day" should be changed to the first Friday through Sunday weekend in November.
