Certainly I realize that, but my point is that early voting is NOT guaranteed to us and people are acting as if it is. It's a perk, so to speak. And I fail to understand why, since everybody and their uncle rushed out to vote early, it can be considered "voter suppression" if it isn't offered on a wide-scale basis. Everyone I know who voted early is a yuppie or a boomer, hardly the oppressed classes.
I'm just asking that we stop turning everything into a BFD. It's obvious that people hate the governor of Florida and want to nail his ass, but can't we be adult about it?
