It's an increasing trend here. An estimated 1/3 of the votes in this presidential election will be cast early. Personally I like the hubbub of the polling place on election day, but clearly others feel differently. I don't think any information is going to be lost to the early voters because at this point it's just the same noise over and over.

>So you've already voted in the elections. Thats very early. we don't have anything like that here. You can get postal and proxy votes but nothing like that. So does this mean you can now stop watching election news and campaign coverage as your mind has already been made up ?

>>Presidential Election. We have early voting. There was a rally at the voting place today by McCain supporters. I wouldn't have known if I hadn't had CNN on in the background while I'm working. The republic party was protesting the cumberland county board of elections because we had voting on a Sunday for the first time ever this time and it was not publicized. The only place they publicized the Sunday voting was on stage at Obama's speech so no one except those who attended or watched the speech online knew about Sunday voting. I looked online for voting places for early voting (and instructions) and saw the schedule. They added the sunday (only one sunday and it was last sunday) on the Monday following. Interesting. Trying to cover their butts obviously. I think it wasn't done specifically for Dems but rather to keep the turnout lower than it would be otherwise. Lazy folks. They could state they had Sunday voting and there was a low turnout so no reason to ever have it again. (Just my opinion) Problem was that it was busy because it was announced on stage right before Obama's speech here.
