In 2008, they interviewed the woman who was first to vote 30 days in advance in Chicago. What if 2 weeks prior to Election Day it came out the candidate of her choice was found to have 500 gigabytes of child pornography on his computer??? Too late to take her vote back. And a lot of times there is an "October surprise".

One of many reasons we do mail in.

I just tell that I was voting for their candidate but but because of their loud annoying presence I’ve changed my mind.

But I’m a button pusher and get a lot of pleasure from ****ing off people who I find irritating.

Once upon a time I heard a woman in line to vote on election day say "I'm going to get... some of that O... $$!"

Lots of reasons to vote in person. Who knows what motivators will exist on election day vs voting early or as mail in - pretty sure u s elections are REALLY messed up.

Just letting out my frustrations about how political supporters of any cause or any party, are able to confront people at places they are not able to avoid, our pool/postal stations. I dread going to get the mail each election cycle and really dread the "gauntlet" one has to walk to get into the Laurel Manor center to vote in person. In no way do I want to curtail anyone's right to support a candidate or cause regardless of party, or their right to placing signs for any candidate or cause on their lawn/private property. I just wish they would do their campaigning on public property, like on the sidewalks of any of the squares and shopping plazas, but not at the pool and postal station areas which, I believe are private, not U.S. post office property. And on election days, I wish all these people in chairs and marching around with their signs would have to stay ACROSS the street from the Laurel Manor, and not force people to walk through their very narrow into the voting room. It really makes me uncomfortable how they do that here, but been here a long time and doubt it will ever change. Not life changing, I just get the mail after dark during election seasons and vote by mail, so annoying, not the biggest problem I've ever faced in life...LOL !

There’s laws regulating how close to polling places they can gather
