I voted!: Early Voting

Early Voting: So easy, you'll slap your electoral representative.

Seriously, folks. I don't know why more people aren't doing it. You can go to any of the Designated Voting Locations in your county and vote (thanks Shannon), whereas on election day, you have to report to your designated location.

-Open before and after work
-Open on weekends
-Many convienent locations

Wonderful stuff, this early voting. If it gains popularity, it will be interesting to see how the media changes to suit it. Instead of one night of excitement, it would be a more gradual development.

Down side would be if someone decided not to vote because the early voters had already put a candidate to a considerable lead. But overall, early voting is a very cool thing.

So long as my vote gets counted and counted correctly...
