I think the disabled that cant make it to the polls shouldnt be able to vote either than. Afterall, if they really wanted it, they'd find a way.

And hence the ridiculousness of some mentalities is what keeps this Country of ours as divided as it has become--don't anybody get thier panties in a knot--that is a very general fact as this old farmer see's it. I do hope that that was politically correct enough. NOT

I just dont see making it easier to vote an issue. It doesn't increase voter fraud. Having Election Day on a normal workday is stupid for a lot of reasons. If they dont want to make it a holiday where everyone gets off work, then they should make voting as easy as possible. Early voting works in all the states that use it and it promotes higher voter turnout which, in my opinion, is far more democratic.

Sure, people should be willing to stand in line for hours but the reality is that many cant. And those long lines weren't just in states affected by Irene, they were in every highly populated area in the country. So, just like the disabled and just like the military overseas, I dont see early voting for anyone as an issue. Should my vote count less because I voted the Friday before Election Day?

I feel like I'm talking to a wall sometimes--BUT--as I've stated--ABSENTEE BALLOT-- now are you going to argue that that doesn't cover everything that's got you all bowed up? OR, is it some just like to argue for the sake of argueing???

I apologize then. I thought you said absentee ballots just for military and the infirm. I went back and was mistaken.

We are in total agreement then, Fred.

Fred...I was guilty of not picking up on that as well...not to far back in this post

Outstanding. Now, you 2 play nice.

To me playing nice is going to hunting camp...having some good food and possibly a good beverage or two!

I hear all that NM & I'm with ya 100%

~nodding~

See, we can all find commonalities. I've been casually looking for a small camp for a while now. I'm not quite at the purchase stage but more of a "what's out there" stage. I'm honestly not even sure if I'd want to be in the NE Kingdom, NH or Maine yet...kinda just getting a feel of what's available.

I'd use it more for just relaxing, 4wheeling, paddling, etc as I dont really hunt anymore but still...

I used to go 4 wheeling every fall in Eustic, ME. Not that far from N. Vermont. Big snowmobile area in the winter. Check it out.
