Early voting has been crazy this year. A friend of mine waited over an hour in line to early vote.
I sent my vote in via absentee ballot. With having my business in my home, and limited daycare, it was the easiest way for me to vote.
I was just curious who else got the "vote early" bug. ;)
I have to admit, no matter who wins the election this year, I'm going to have election news entertainment withdrawls after the election. LOL

Hi There Liz,
I voted here: ' Yes (This also includes Absentee Ballots)'.
Yes, I did already vote. I have already voted For John McCain and Sarah Palin.

We don't have early voting in my state and I do not think we should have it in any state. Seems like it could result in abuse.

I voted last Wednesday. My wait time was zero. I had sunshine that day, which I was uncertain about on election day. It is always a bit sad to be voting for mostly losing candidates in Utah, but with luck, some of them will win.

I voted Friday in Draper, Utah, and had about a two-hour wait reading my magazine. Good thing it was a thick one.
Why do you think that? How does spreading out the process invite abuse? What's the scenario you have in mind? I would think that having more time to evaluate votes would be better than everything happening at once, with huge piles of votes and a rush to count them.

Not sure really. Seems like if there were faulty registrations like happened with Acorn someone could go vote more than once a lot more time if it is spread out then they could if it happens all in one day.
