It seems deliberately confusing to me since there is no fundamental difference between voting now and voting on the day of the deadline, but the way it’s discussed and referred to seems to imply that the correct day to vote would be waiting until the last minute instead of voting just getting it out of the way weeks ahead of time.
I’ve voted 'early, in every election I’ve participated in. For as long as I’ve known, which is about to be 4 presidential and all of the elections in between, the polls have always been open for weeks.
That’s approaching 20 years, I don’t think it’s a new concept really at this point.
That’s less than 10% of the country’s life. Just because you didn’t exist before you were born does not mean that others did not.
…20 years…4 presidential elections?
Did you miss a few? Or am I worse at math than I thought?
4 × 4 = 16, I don’t understand where the confusion is coming from, bud lol
Both answers are correct. 20 years divides into 5 sets of 4, but that’ would only be 5 elections if you started counting on an election year.
“Approaching 20 years” so exactly 20 years ago is 2004, which makes 5 elections not counting the present one: Bush Jr. 2.0, Obama, Obama 2.0, Trump, Biden. Figuring this person turned 18 and registered to vote in, say 2006 and missed voting in the 2004 election, that would be 18 years and 4 elections, this current one would be 5.
Sorry 15 years 2010 midterm and forward.
Not every state allows it and if they do it has to be a special reason in most states. So you must live in a lucky state or had an excuse every year
It’s a state-level policy, and there have been a few states that were ahead of the curve.
