CNN reported Wednesday that 2.2 million people have voted using absentee ballots, which could be a signal for record numbers of participation in the election. Usually, early voting is indicative of turnout on Election Day, so we can look forward to a high level turnout.
I’m wondering if early voting has anything to do with a widespread attempt to avoid crowded polls, or an impatience/anticipation to cast votes, or even a laziness to head to the polls. In a society that values immediacy and direct results, it makes sense that we would want find out who wins already. We know which ticket we’re voting for, and our decision isn’t going to change in the next two weeks.
CAN WE JUST GET THIS OVER WITH ALREADY?
