Preface: If you read the preceding post, you know I am not terribly bright. Information obvious and apparent to most people has often eluded my grasp. Therefore, if the following post displays ignorance, you've been warned.
What is it with early voting? Did this always exist? I don't mean absentee ballots, but actual in-person voting at the polls. When did Election Day become Election Season? Reports are that up to one-third of presidential voting may take place before Tuesday. In some states, including battleground states, half of the votes may be cast in advance. Huh?
This astounds and confuses me. Suppose we awoke this morning to the airing of a photo showing Obama and Ayers fist-pumping at a "Death to America" rally somewhere years back. Or, to be fair and balanced, a video surfaced of McCain wearing a little black dress and stilettos at a time of year other than Halloween. I may wish to re-evaluate my support for either candidate based on this new information, but what if I already voted? I don't get it.
I assume the people who vote early are hard-core supporters of their candidate who will not be swayed by such revelations. It still doesn't seem right to me. Am I off base here?
