I definitely agree that Election Day should be a national holiday and I’m fine with voter ID. But there are so many valid reasons why someone would need or want to vote early.

IIRC, that was always available through absentee voting.

But it sounds like Trump wants to make it not available.

I live in Oregon and voting by mail is super easy and convenient. Shows up to my house along with the voting information, that candidates put their bio and whatnot into, gives you time to research issues as you vote. Drop it off in the mail and you can even track it online. Never had any issues.

Same for me. I think I both received and mailed my ballot in November on the 4th. I also appreciate being able to track my ballot once mailed and knowing that it was counted.

Yes, there are legitimate reasons someone might not be able to vote on Election Day. That’s what absentee voting is for, it’s been around for many decades. But you have to care enough to put in a little bit of extra effort to do it!
