What are your thoughts on early voting? (please do not reference political parties or candidates)

Early voting being available is a no brainer. Should be widely available. I didn’t vote early because the only place was a 30 minute drive in an unfamiliar place. Tomorrow morning I could pour my coffee, leave it on the counter, walk to my polling station, and be back in time to still have to blow on it to cool it down.

I hear others say similar things from time to time.....where they are (insert some super-close distance) from their polls. I myself am just a few miles from my own, compared to being roughly 12 miles from the early voting location.

But for me it's just about the peace of mind, and I feel like a person simply has to ask themselves "would I ultimately be at peace if something unforeseen came up and prevented me from voting that day"? For me that answer would be no.......even with being in Louisiana, a state where the overall voting will likely be rather one-sided.
