(15,703 posts)Do you have to have some sort of excuse re: not voting on Election Day in order to vote in person absentee?
In any case, I hope Dems will make a big push in those battleground states to get folks to the polls during early voting. Hopefully, this will reduce the lines on Election Day, and reduce the impact of any attempts to exclude mail in ballots.
Im sure there will be plenty of folks chomping at the bit to vote for Biden as soon as the early voting opens in their state!

(38,601 posts)Early in-person doesnt depend on the mail, which will be a problem this election, so thats a plus.
Many states have no-excuse early voting.
Idk, the mail thing is getting worrisome. And the ability to contest and throw out ballots is troubling.
