There is no way to vote from out of the country unless you have "applied" for it. And what about the sick/disabled/immodbile? If they can't get to the "weekend-only" poles they can't vote?
I think the system we have now is fair and encourages more people to vote, which is a good thing all around.
We voted from out of the country. Our son and DIL vote every election from out of the country since they are living in Australia.

Fair is perhaps an important word with no clear definition. "Son and DIL vote every election from out of the country since they are living in Australia."
I do wonder if they do not live in the United States why would they vote in the United States?
It is rather a huge system. It has to be. Imagine if the system had to approve or disapprove each vote. We voted early. It took, or should take far longer to study the issues, and who you choose to vote for compared to the time to get to the poll show your IDENTIFICATION, prove you are a citizen, you are who you are, you are ALIVE etc
