There is early voting if you cant make it to the polls. It is called absentee voting. This is Brunner's big plan to run up the Democratic vote.

Just because you get your ballot early doesn't mean you have to send it in early. As long as it's postmarked by November 3rd. So you can wait for a while, no hurry, just like a utility bill.

Ben,

How many on both sides of the aisle have already decided based on media sound bite, campaign ads, and preconceived notions? How many will seek to avoid being confused by the facts by voting early? How many think that this election cycle has been going on too long already, and will vote early just to get it over with?

Ben,

All good points.

I also wonder where in the Constitution do they get the authority to hold election month, instead of election day.

I forgot to mention I've been told that Obama will make an appearance at the Job and Family Center during early voting.

I have spent a great deal of time volunteering and looking into local races and I'm still undecided on two of the judgeships. I agree with you there is no way people are 100% confident in their choices and many have yet to even think about the local races.
