How about a "No Early Voting In My State" thread?

[trof]

Alabackward makes voting as difficult as possible.
Especially if you're NQW*.

NO early voting.
ONE day only!
A work day.
Photo ID required.

Absentee voting is unnecessarily complicated.

Welcome to 2016 Jim Crow.

*Not Quite White.

1. Delaware

Same as above and in order to vote absentee, you have to jump through hoops as well.

[treestar]

23. Yes!

Though I can say no lines. Vote at Skyline Middle School and no lines ever !

[jberryhill]

35. Mine was changed this year

I've been voting at Linden Hill for years, but they apparently stopped using it as a polling place and it was changed to St. Phillips Lutheran Church. You know... that church on Kirkwood Highway between where the Almart used to be and that shopping center where Mr. Pizza and HoJos used to be. I thought it was weird, but I drove down there for the primary and the place was closed. At first, I thought I'd received a fake notice, until I saw a "we've moved to Limestone Road" sign. So now, it's another "used to be".

[treestar]

41. LOL with the cutesy sayings on their sign

I've passed the brand new one on Limestone a few times.

Now I wonder what will happen with the original one. How to re-purpose a church? The church near Dickinson is now part of an office complex, so it can be done!

2. Pennsylvania

All of the above except Voter ID is not required.

[appleannie1]

3. Pennsylvania is one day. That means Nov. 8th this year.

If you know beforehand that you cannot show up on that day, you have to vote absentee.

4. A long-distance "girlfriend" in Connecticut doesn't have it...

... and she acted appalled that it happens anywhere. "What if people change their minds?" was one of her questions. Lol. She's Jewish and voting for Clinton, by the way.

I replied that people could change their minds after election day too, and early voting is especially helpful for people who work long hours and might struggle to vote on November 8th.

[sarae]

6. lol, never thought of it that way...

Someone made a comment here earlier in which they said voting early is better in case you die before Nov.8. I never thought of it that way either, but it's a good point. At least you could part the world knowing you did your best for those left behind.

...although I wonder if Trump & Giuliani would consider that 'dead voter fraud'...

[Buckeye_Democrat]

16. I wouldn't put it past conservatives...

... pointing to examples of people who voted and died before November 8th, trying to trick people into thinking it was voter fraud by leaving out details.

Limbaugh has been a "genius" at that kind of not-the-whole-truth deception.

[OKNancy]

5. Oklahoma - three days Nov 3,4 and 5th BUT

You have to go to the courthouse in Tulsa, which is downtown, bad parking and really inconvenient unless you work downtown.

[Beartracks]

8. I was thinking about doing absentee...

At least I did find where we could apply for an absentee ballot online. But I thought it could be returned by mail...?

============

[OKNancy]

17. last time I did absentee you have to get it notarized

they don't make it easy

[Beartracks]

9. Ah, here we go. Apply online, mail ballot back.

Maybe that's new this year.

[Danmel]

13. New York

No early voting. No voter ID. I always vote first thing in the morning so if anything happens to me, at least I voted.

[Retrograde]

25. NY allows permanent absentee ballots in rare cases

My recently deceased mother received mail-in ballots for every election in her last 8 years. She had to demonstrate that she was disabled - and it helped that one of her children worked for the elections people and could work through the system.

New York has other peculiarities, like having the polls be open longer in some counties for primary elections, and the difficulty of getting one's party affiliation changed.

[Danmel]

34. You have it exacly right

We have other peculiarities Toomey like cross endorsements. We have elected here whoring on every line. It is ridiculous. The voters have zero choice.

[Cracklin Charlie]

14. Missouri.

I'm so jealous.

[The Genealogist]

18. Sucks, doesn't it?

I would have voted by now if it were an option.

[bunnies]

15. Same in NH. *Quite White

We have same day registration - so at least there's that.

[Dem2]

20. yay

we have same day registration.

/s

[williesgirl]

21. Virginia

[yortsed snacilbuper]

22. Pennsyltucky,

and my polling place is a church, jeez.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

24. Same for me!

Well, that's my local precinct. I voted early this time, so I had to drive downtown.

[appleannie1]

26. Mine is a Grange Hall basement.

I have to work all day in the cold, damp dungeon of patriotic bliss.

[GreenEyedLefty]

30. So is mine.

[Freddie]

31. Yep, First Methodist Church

Fine by me, it's close to home and has a huge parking lot.
Most precincts here vote at schools, so the kids have off on Election Days as they don't trust "strange people" in the buildings.

[CentralMass]

27. Well, I was supposed to have recieved my ballet in Oregon by mail by today I believe.

No luck yet. I'll make a call tomorrow.

[KelleyKramer]

28. And right after passing the voter ID law, they closed over half of the DMV offices in the state

Nice little trick ehh??

Just like in NC and other states, the GOP doesn't even pretend any more... it is pure anti-democratic voter suppression

The Republican party hates democracy

[GreenEyedLefty]

29. Michigan.

Same as Alabama, although anyone can vote absentee.

[get the red out]

32. Kentucky has none

Kentucky is archaic.

[susanna]

36. Michigan

A few elections ago started with voter ID.

Never had early voting.

Only November 8, a work day. Miss it? Tough luck.

Absentee with excuse only.

[LynneSin]

38. We have no early voting in Delaware but then again

our entire states only needs about 3 hours for everyone eligible to vote.

[NewJeffCT]

39. No early voting in Connecticut, either

Connecticut usually has pretty good turnout overall, but we don't have early voting. I've also lived in suburban CT my entire life and have never had to wait more than a few minutes to vote.
