The 2 states that started early voting yesterday were
Kentucky - Mailed out ballots, and
Pennsylvania - Began in-person early voting
The two joined North Carolina which began mailing out ballots on September 4th.
And these 3 states have begun this process without the benefit of having a single presidential debate beforehand.
It should be noted that President Trump requested multiple times to have the debate schedule moved up, but his opponent and the debate commission both declined to accommodate his requests.
But one party has been pushing for their voters to bank their votes early. It’s the same party that refused the request to move the debate schedule up.
okay. yet the voters still have the entire election season to cast their vote. chances are people who will vote this early wouldn’t be swayed to change their vote anyway
Hmmm. Only one party has been pushing their voters to bank their votes early? Are you sure about that? Because I’m sure I can find a whole lot of Republicans pushing their voters to vote as soon as they can. Or were you talking about the Republican party?
The earliest voters are likely to be some of the most informed and ready to go. I am still working on a few North Carolina Council of State races and judicial races, but for the most part I have made up my mind.
I believe that those who are voting early already have their minds made up. And to the point that the debates will not make a difference in their vote. And for those on the fence, there is time after the debates to early vote or vote on election day.
