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

I think early voting is very convenient for all the reasons listed through the thread so far. This was our first time here in Ohio, and I will say that my wife and I found it a bit less personal than in Louisiana. Our location had booths with no little curtains to close, and people were walking around and even standing behind each other while voting. Additionally, there was a ton of law enforcement parked right outside the building and patrolling the bordering streets, which is not something we’re accustomed to. But, that was last week and we’re done with it, so all good.

Yeah, Ohio is the most interesting early voting story. Much of the modern debate about it originated from Ohio and, for some reason, it has been far more controversial in Ohio than in the many other states that have implemented it quite easily.
