More participation become meaningless if the early voter doesn't have all the information the later voters do. It's not all about convenience. Not ordering a pizza when voting.

No.

If you're unsure who you want to vote for, don't vote early. Pretty simple.

And the reason you feel having a state change its voting laws to let people take back their early vote and and submit a different one is.....??

I just posted my reason. You quoted it.

Having said that, if that is what the people of PA vote to do - allow early ballots to be changed - bully for them.

Why are you in favor of voter suppression?

If we would only make election day a national holiday, we wouldn't have to worry about early voting.

But since the US doesn't like giving people the day off to do anything, then you have to accept early voting.
There are a huge number of people who have to work whether it's a holiday or not. For example, refineries and chemical plants are fully staffed 24/7, since they don't just shut them down for a holiday.

There's nothing wrong with early voting. If something happens to make you change your already submitted vote, too bad, you should have waited.

I suppose that depends on how much one values or not any of the debates.

Personally, I never bother with any of them for any election. If the vote is not already decided, I go to their web site and they have 5 minutes to convince or other wise.

For me, the debates show, at best, how much of a pompous ash they all are.

Finally, to borrow from the workplace, you don't base someone's eval all on how they performed last week and I suppose it is fair to say that of politicians.
