I know there is absentee voting, but I thought that was mostly by mail.
What is with all these people going to the polls in Florida, Texas and other states? I don't rmember this happening in other years. I don't remember voting at polls except on election day. It's been many years since high school government classes, but how did I miss this?
Thanks for the info

bump:
someone must have some info on this?!??

I think there have been ways to vote early for a long time. However, more people are taking advantage of it this year. I think it is more convenient for people to vote early, rather than have to make it to the polls on election day.

Both the Democrats and Republicans are trying to get their supporters to vote early, because it is easier to get a high turnout, if you start early. I think this election is going to have a very high turnout.

We have had early voting as long as I can remember its easier than waiting to the last minute. It has helped the Libertarians here get a bigger turnout than we would have had without it.

I agree that this year will be one of the greatest turnouts in history

So this is just a form of absentee voting?
And the media is just making a bigger deal is all?

I think the turnout will be bigger than usual but smaller than most expect. Look how many voted on ATS, and all they had to do was click at their console. (the cynic in said that )

Not really the polls are open here in Arkansas and will be till the election. I think we do it early here because so many people are rural and dont come into town very often. When I was a kid I remember a trip into town was special and we all dressed up in our good clothes and sometimes we got candy.

Sad wasnt it

Here is your october surprise, 1400 cst/USA, Al Queda tape aired with Osama on it talking. And of course the tape was given to CNN by Al-Jazeera. So speculation has just been put assunder. Updates on tape content to come as soon as I get the rest of the tapes info. Its being
analyzed now. And guess what with only four days till polls too cant cut it any closer than that....... well maybe they still have something coming up
this may be a precursor.


Also 0520 cmt/USA tape relesed of American speaking, educated person dressed like militant threatening attacks..... tape under investigation by US Goverment.

Yes CNN, but think about this, it is the US propaganda machine, and not all stories aired by Al- Jazera have been proven to be from Al-Queda and there are 2 tapes of possible US or US conected origins one being, 1 execution tape which was believed stage by military and other US official, and Now the new tape from that mysterious English speaking man dressed as terrorist and the new al-queda tape and their may be more
