Poll: How many of you did early voting?

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,

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.
