In-person-only elections needed for fairness, honesty

| August 29, 2024 1:00 AM

Whatever happened to Election Day in this country? Now we have states like Pennsylvania which have their elections many days ahead of every other state. Why? Then there is now mail in early ballets. Why?

Election Day should be the same day for everyone in this country as it was and should be again. I understand absentee ballets for folks who can not come to the polling place because they are out of the country, perhaps in the armed forces, or medically or physically are not able to come to their polling place to vote but I do not understand what happened to Election Day in this country. Who changed this anyway?

Please, let’s get back to having an Election Day that is honest and fair where everyone who is able goes to their polling place and cast their ballots.
