Even as he cast ballots by mail himself and launched messaging campaigns encouraging his supporters to do the same, Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to eliminate mail-in voting altogether, baselessly casting doubt on the legitimacy of mail-in votes.
Now he appears to be calling for the end of all forms of early voting.
After publicly demanding the prosecution of his political enemies, Trump encouraged the Department of Justice to investigate the outcome of the 2020 presidential election with “gusto” — and signaled that the “biggest SCANDAL in American history” will “happen again” unless the government eliminates early voting.
Honestly I never understood the push for this. Maybe it’s because I grew up around people who never had federal holidays off. Tons of people still need to work on federal holidays. What makes way more sense to me would be not having a single “Election Day.” Make it Election Week, everywhere, all the time.

All of the above.
Colorado has early voting, mail-in voting, and places to drop off your filled-out ballot.
It’s absolutely beautiful.
If you want to stand in-line the day of, you can do that, too. I’ve done that a few times, many years ago, and I think my longest wait was maybe 15 minutes, but that was out in the burbs, too.
