Good point. A couple of people at work are now switching their vote away from Obama as more is really understood about the ambassador that was murdered and the coverup from the Obama Administration. They were willing to overlook his handling on the economy as they don't think Romney will do any better, but this coverup really concerns them. Soooooooooo, that got me to thinking that many people have already voted and now if they wanted to switch they cannot do so. That made me think that perhaps rather than having a voting season like we do now that maybe we need to go back to a voting day or at least shorten the time people have their ballots so if a candidate gains late strength or falters for some late factual reason they haven't cast a ballot they regret before election day.
The only constitutional requirement regarding voting is that the ELECTORS vote on the same day. The electors would be the electoral college. In fact, the constitution does not require, at all, national elections, grant us the right to vote for president, etc. Article II, Section 1: Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector. and The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.
Then I'm screwed, Maris, I sent in my ballot an hour ago. I don't have to wait for whatever fake rumors get dreamed up on crackpot web sites.
I must admit, there are times I suffer from pre-mature election voting. Especially when the canidates are hot like Obama and Romney.
