I'm a humble person. I'm not naked outside. Just shorts.

Voting is a process. If you want easy, don't vote. We'll pick up the slack.
They mail them to everyone who is registered to vote. Actually it reduces fraud as you point out with the lady trying to vote at a poll multiple times, kind of hard to do with a mailed ballot that has a code that is read by a machine on it and would immediately spot irregularities. Its possible if someone wanted to steal your ballot and broke into your mail box to do it then it could be committed. But really what kind of people risk felony arrest just so they can vote a few extra times?

voter fraud is both easy and condoned in Colorado

Yeah sure there is no political bias in that video...whatever.

The process is mostly overseen by Republicans in Colorado. The only reason why they didn't support it when the legislation was passed is to stay in line with the national party who believes it can improve its chances by making it more difficult to vote.

Nevada can feel free to stay behind the times on voting just like it is in so many other ways. By the end of the decade this system will likely be seen in the majority of states.

This thread is about Clark County's early voting for the mid-term elections. Take your political statements over to Politics and Other Controversies. Or the colorado board. Or the california board. Whichever you choose.

"They are usually in high-traffic areas, such as major shopping malls, Election Department offices, or City Clerks’ offices "

How do you find out which malls? I guess we will get a sample ballot soon and it will have more info?

and it says "or" so only one of the offices will hold early voting? guess we need to call or what? very vague.
