I’m still appalled by the fact that you’re excited about Joe Biden and Democrats and think they’re doing an AMAZING job because of that Social Security COLA increase.

Regardless of all of that, my uncle, who also happens to live in Pennsylvania, had a stroke a few YEARS ago and has issues similar to Fetterman’s issues, and still hasn’t fully recovered. It takes awhile. Fetterman needs to drop out of the race and focus on his recovery.

I'm aware of no requirement to watch any debates before voting.

And you would want to further burden county boards of elections? Just because you don't think people should be able to vote early? Good grief ...

That genie is out of the bottle. Why should we be tied to antiquated systems of doing things just because we've always done them that way? Why not go a step or two further, and return to original laws that forbade men who don't own property, black residents, women, and adults 18-20 from voting?

How is allowing an early vote suppressing the vote?

Appalled, yes. Surprised, no.

We want to be as fair as possible to the voters, don't we?
What?

Why?

Because Fetterman was a trainwreck in the debate. The fracking lie was especially priceless. Even WPXI, his hometown media, said he went up in flames and doesn’t appear fit to handle the job, and there was plenty more of that afterwards. He was a dullard with a lousy resume before, puts in part time hours as Lt. Governor, and is now even more incoherent since his stroke and wants to represent the entire state, lol.

Lol, the stroke killed half his brain. He ain’t gonna recover, no matter what some dopey doctor is going to say. He might regain some of his speech but not nearly anything resembling 100%.

we have witnessed the abuse of early voting and mail in voting. without restriction they destroy the trust in the election process.

one day to vote, early voting restricted to a week before, few exceptions permitted for out of country or state. Next day pronouncement of winner. No late mail in counts!!!!!!!

If voting is so important, then make it a point to vote. For generations it was one day to vote and it worked well and more importantly, the process was trusted and the conclusion accepted and the results finalized by morning of the next day.

Mail in voting process must be bullet proof and accepted by the both sides of the aisle.

State voting regs cannot be violated!

Voting is the only legal way citizens can approve or reject a candidate and their policies. Take away the vote and civility is destabilized and the country weakened.

But since the US doesn't like giving people the day off to do anything, then you have to accept early voting.
We have more voters now because of early and absentee voting, I would expect waiting for hours at a polling location if we went back to in person voting. Only around 60% of eligible voters actually vote in a presidential election, 35% in off year. Polling locations would be overwhelmed if we went back to in person voting.

Crazy that people can change their vote after voting.

Being educated doesn’t equal intelligence, hence his terrible resume, and since his stroke he’s incoherent and sounds more the dullard.

And let’s not forget it’s a Yinzer doctor that donated to his campaign fund saying he’s capable of doing the job. After the debate the doctor looked like such a clown with what he said. Even his hometown yinzer media tore him up after the debate and continues to do so.

Caveat emptor. Buyer beware. Nobody puts a gun to your head to vote early. If you launch that arrow prematurely, there is no taking it back. Sorry Charlie, that is the breaks. No way you should be able to "reverse" your vote right up to election day. If you don't want buyers remorse, don't vote early.

But then I think early voting is ridiculous anyway. We went 200 years with people having to vote on voting day and it worked better than early voting is working out, but then I hate most of modern life today, so what's just another thorn in my side?
