What does everyone prefer? Early voting or going to the polls on election day?
I really like getting mine early, I hate standing in lines and I like to take my time without the pressure of knowing there are 50 people waiting for my booth
I prefer poll voting also. There will always be questions on early voting based on any number of people along the way not handling the mail-in properly. However, I totally understand trying to avoid the lines when you have a work schedule and an employer who doesn't give time off for voting. I guess it is a personal preference.
I'm more of a traditionalist and kinda like the idea of the whole nation going out and voting on the same day as a country. I don't mind crowds and standing in line.
Yes, but it is so much easier to destroy 50,000 electronic votes without a trace than 50,000 paper votes. I'd say if you have voting machines only on election day (which is pretty common now), and paper is easier to use for early voting, use the paper..
The polls accept the absentee ballots. You can fill out the ballot at home, take it to the polls on election day, walk past the line waiting to vote and deposit it directly in the box. Best of both worlds.

No! Early voting is better. Less chance of voting machine fraud. There is a paper record.
Yabut I'm afraid that paper record will conveniently get thrown in the trash.
