In reply to the discussion: Why would anyone whose state allows mail-in and early voting, not do it? [View all]lark
(24,253 posts)60. Lots of people do. Some don't care and some just proscrastinate and some just like election day voting.
My daughter, who's 35, always voted on election day until 2020, she just liked the experience. She got busier and voting early made more sense so that;s how she now votes. The rest of the family always early voted or voted by mail and we continue to do so. I can vote next week or week after (not sure) and can't wait to do so. I will be looking up the info today and also seeing where I can early vote. They changed all our voting places last time, mfers. Guess my area is too purple/blue so they had to make it harder - boo!!

I'm going to early vote. I'm afraid a mail-in ballot will be disqualified.

I don't trust the mail and there's only 1 polling location downtown for 1.25 million

I just like to vote in person on Election Day. It's an American civic ritual I have always enjoyed.

Some like to, some don't. As long as they vote, why do you care how they vote?
