After tomorrow 24 of the 50 states will have absentee
ballots available. Why? We are 45 days away from November 6th
2012 I can see if we open it up for a week possibly two weeks before an
election, and longer if you are in the service overseas, but why do we need 45
days before an election to open the vote?
I am a huge proponent of getting out to vote in fact I have said
countless times in my life on the radio and elsewhere if you don’t vote you can't
bitch. (I’ve been called on the carpet
for saying that also since this is America and we can bitch just to bitch ya
know) but really why open the vote 45 days before an election? I have been able to make it to my polling
place every single time including primaries for at least the last 15 years and
have voted in every single general election since I have been 18. I even cut a trip early as so I could make it
home for a primary election. I am all
for making it easy to cast our vote, maybe online voting, but for one how can
we assure that there is no voter fraud when it is mailed out and also how can
we make it tamperproof when allowing online voting? What do you think are the best solutions?
