6:26 am
flexibility for those with inflexible work schedules and eliminates the need to stay in line for hours. sometimes during inclement weather, and factors, which also lower the turnout. and there is a risk, early voting cuts shores the vetting process and late developments in a campaign may impact our choice up to the last minute. do we really have a firm grasp on clinton and trump's views or are we inundated to the very end on their personal failings? considering the record dog eat dog, it is a considered risk for the majority of americans. record early vote is an acceptance for change, let's hope the discussion on increased reforms occurs before the first
