I am frankly confused about early voting. I don't understand why it is suddenly considered some kind of fundamental right when it is in fact a fairly new concept -- and one that arrives just as many states have the least financial and manpower wherewithal to handle it.
I know for a fact that there are tons of people who are voting early who would have easily been able to vote on election day -- but chose to vote early for reasons that had nothing to do with being unable to get to the polls on a Tuesday. Maybe they should have waited instead of creating these endless lines for no reason. That way people who had a good reason to vote early could do so.
It is not the Governor's fault that for some inexplicable reason, early voting has become a trendy activity. This is a bogus controversy.
