Is there any legitimate argument for removing early voting?

tsa posted:Honest question: if voting expansion instead heavily benefited the republicans how do you think posters' opinions here on the topic would change? It's interesting no one is really addressing why greater voter turnout is good beyond that it benefits the party most posters here support. I support voting expansion, but I also realize it's very easy to do so when it helps your party and hurts the other. It certainly makes it easier for me to support, but I also think it's very clearly the right thing to do, along with absentee voting. Not allowing it disenfranchises a lot of voters who can't necessarily make it on the day of. Give people a two week window, campaigns these days go on long enough that it's not like anyone hasn't made up their minds already. To put it in reverse, I think if voter fraud were actually a serious problem in this country, I would be willing to support voter ID laws.

tsa posted:Early voting may lower turnout: Interesting. I'd want to look more at the research, but even if true, we should still give people as many options to vote as possible. If people are still choosing not to vote, that's a different issue.
