What are the rules? Do they get to vote twice? Do they lose their vote. If the candidate bows out and is still living, shouldn't their current vote have to stand as a write-in vote? I mean, it is their own fault for voting so far before the election.
Any examples of a Presidential election where that happened? I've never heard of one. This isn't anything new early voting has been going on for years.

I haven't either. That is why I am asking.

But it is something that is within the realm of possibility.

Or more appropriately, democrats who DONT vote for democrats.

It is the party of the lazy. Let the government pay for all my stuff. Why should I have to pay for it?

You cant even get your people to get off their asses one day a year to go to a voting booth, much less put in long hours working every day so they can pay for their own stuff.

Less lazy than ****-posting on C-D?

I'm pretty sure one of them knew what they were doing was illegal.

Which brings me to my other major criticism about dems. Dems are irrational and illogical, too. What does one thing have to do with the other?

I work 80+ hours a week and still manage to post on CD.

Congrats, I know plenty of self-entitled MDs who lack critical thinking skills. It's fun to paint in broad strokes, isn't it?

I start work before polling stations open and frequently am still working after polling stations close. Should my access to voting be arbitrarily limited? Am I lazy?

You bring up good concerns. However, my impression of America is that there is more than one way to do something. That is how we keep people productive, even govenrment can be kept productive in this way. I don't have a problem with alternative ways of voting.

It is not the job of the US government to make lazy people not lazy. Instead the job of the governmet is to provide equal access or equal opportunity to its goods and services in relation to the structure of society.
