1 month agoThe difference is that before, lines were lo g and some employees weren’t free to go voting during the work day (voting happens on Tuesday).
You could either get there very very early or late…or lose a paid day…or be fired.
Early voting allows for more people to cast their votes, even if it’s not at their precincts, and curves vote suppression on the day of the election.
If Condo and HOA boards are an indication…this is a bad idea to get away from politics.
