Forget the hastle, vote early.
Across the nation we are constantly bombarded with campaign propaganda and rising and dropping poll results, which add to the pressure of one of the most important acts of this nation, voting. Especially in circumstances where voters are undecided, every piece of information can have the slightest effect to swing them one way or another. However, for those citizens who have decided who they want for president, many have joined the trend of voting early. According to the article in the New York Times, among the 32 states that do allow early voting over a quarter of the registered citizens have cast their ballots, by mail or in person. I think it is important to promote this kind of voting opportunity so that those who avoid polling booths because of the mobs of people or long delays, are able vote early and get it out of the way. It also relieves a lot of tension in the days building up to the election and makes it easier to disregard propaganda in the media, knowing that your vote is already in.
