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

I think my hang up comes that there's an election Day...that's the day the election happens just like Christmas has a day and your birthday is a day. If you die before 2 out of 3 of those things you just miss it.

Personally, I'd like a 2 or 3 day window for in person voting and keep the current rules for early voting that most states have. Expecting 200 million+ people to vote all on the same day would be logistically very difficult. Well over 80 million people voted early this election. If they all voted today, a lot of precients would be completely overwhelmed.

Oregon has been doing mail in voting without many issues for years now and it works really well. I'd much rather get a ballot in the mail, sign and send it in. It's not really novel anymore and this makes it much easier for those who can't make it to a physical location because of work/disability.

Being that I'm deaf, I'm keenly aware of the accessibility challenges people face. And I think voting is a civic duty that should be accessible to everyone who is qualified to vote.
