NOT a bad idea..

According to a blog entitled “Inspection- Early voting? A Bad Idea”, Ken Carman suggests that no one should vote early. He says the only reason voters are even offered the opportunity to vote early is so that the people will have more time with your votes and toss them. He strongly urges for everyone to wait to vote until the latest possible time so that there will be no time for anyone to look through and toss votes.Carman states, “evidence is pretty damn obvious it has happened like many, many more votes than registered in a given voting district, totally out of sync voting patterns, obscure candidates getting massive amounts of votes, the easy hackability of electronic voting.”He makes that statement as his evidence, however he does not provide any solid proof or examples to back up his argument. Ken goes on to say that he understands making voting easier and earlier is a noble goal, but in that case he believes it should be made a national paid holiday. I agree with the suggestion that there should be a national paid holiday for voting. I think this would raise the voter turnout. However, I do not agree with Carman’s theory on vote tossing during early voting. I think the only reason there is early voting is to encourage people to simply get out there and vote. Many people are impatient and simply do not want to spend their day waiting in a line. I think his opinion of such a voting conspiracy is absurd. Early voting is a convenience to those with busy schedules, not a “bad idea.”
