Early voting
In 2012, 30% of the vote was already cast by election day.

Quote:
In total, 37 states and the District of Columbia will allow early voting in 2016. Some states of those states allow voters to request mail ballots and send them in, while others open physical polling places weeks or even months before the election. In the 2012 presidential election, approximately 30 percent of the votes cast came via mail or early balloting, meaning many voters will weigh in before the candidates have had a chance to make their closing case.

Hmmm, one candidate is the most vetted in the history of the Republic via 25 years of mostly taxpayer funded vendettas by the GOP, a former Senator and Secretary of State and the other is a con man from NY City who lost money owning casinos in Atlantic City and won't release his taxes...

Decisions, decisions...

Don't you have anything better to do than follow me around like a little puppy dog taking shits on everything I post?



This thread wasn't even partisan in any way, but you still had to do it.

You just can't help yourself can you?

Bob, using your information regarding Hillary the Warrior, why be dumb enough to nominate someone who is constantly in skirmishes with the opposition?

Truth be told, the Democrats felt good electing the first black president (though only half) and now wanted to continue the largess by electing the first woman president. Smart money should have told you not to choose a wounded warrior. But the detractors were either afflicted with HDS, are misogynists and or worse yet, deplorable. As I have said before, it is not easy to market a poor product.
