I mean I know it can’t be a time thing cos that’s why on election day people are supposed to have off. So I’m wondering of what other reasons you might be aware of.

Its not new. It is being offered by more and more states now. It gives more opportunity to participate and it cuts the heavy lines on Election day.

I think this will be a much greater factor than the mythical "Bradley Effect."

The polls will likely getting closer as Election Day gets nearer, but 1/3 of us will have already voted!
That should say ‘the polls will likely BE getting closer…’ above.

I think early voting will be shown to have definitely helped Obama rather than McCain.

Let’s just hope those votes aren’t "lost" or tossed…

Especially in the swingstates.

No problems where I live.

If it’s available to you? I just did it here in Florida and it’s great. It means less running around on Tuesday.

Vote early, vote often!

FAMU student Katie Jeter shares how voting for Obama in this historic election was! This was shot in Tallahassee, Florida at the Leon County Court house the official location for all Early Voting in the county. Florida A&M University hosted a march where faculty, staff, and students of the Historically Black College marched to the polls to Early Vote.

Do you feel your vote will count? How much voter fraud do you anticipate?

I did and I hope it will. In this day with Acorn I can’t say for sure but I’m hoping… isn’t that sad???????

All states offer voters the option of voting prior to the election. In some states, the ballots are returned by mail. This is referred to as absentee voting. Other states permit voters to vote in person at the offices of county clerks or at other satellite voting locations. This is referred to as early voting or in-person absentee voting.

All states permit numbers of the military who are stationed overseas and their dependents to vote absentee. For more information, please visit the Overseas Vote Foundation.

More than half the states–31, to be exact–offer some sort of early voting. Early voting differs from absentee voting in that voters may visit an election officials office or, in some states, other satellite voting locations, and cast a vote in person without offering an excuse for not being able to vote on election day. Satellite voting locations vary by state, and may include other county and state offices (besides the election officials office), grocery stores, shopping malls, schools, libraries, and other locations. Early voting generally is conducted on the same voting equipment used in the regular election, as opposed to absentee voting, which is conducted on mail-in paper ballots. The time period for early voting varies from state to state, but most often it is available during a period of 10-14 days before the election, generally ending on the Friday or Saturday immediately preceding the election.

Absentee voting is conducted by mail-in paper ballot prior to the day of the election. While all states offer some version of it, there is quite a lot of variation in states procedures for absentee voting. For instance, some states offer no-excuse absentee voting, allowing any registered voter to vote absentee without requiring that the voter state a reason for his/her desire to vote absentee. Other states permit voters to vote absentee only under a limited set of circumstances.
