I could vote early, too, because I couldn't vote for a creepy, 47 year swamp dweller, that's older than me (and I'm over 70) and a Communist/Socialist/Marxist like he's running with. There is no concrete reason for "early voting" though. Even with the CCP Virus lines are long and they're long because of the messed up system being used. There's no reason not to vote on election day, it's called election day for a reason and not election week, month, season or year. If you request an absentee ballot, for a valid reason that could include being worried about the CCP Virus, that's one thing. Mailing a ballot, unsolicited to every name listed on voting roles that have not been maintained or checked for accuracy in decades is a whole other thing. Exactly how are those mail in ballots being verified as being genuine? If a real system was in place it would probably take a few months to review them all. To top it all off, I'll bet between 10 and 30 percent of those mail in ballots get disqualified or lost along the way. So much for Democracy, free elections and election day.
My reaction to all this is also influenced by the feeling that we are witnessing the end of free and fair elections. Mail in ballots are the start. It's already being expanded to include ballots received, and even post marked, well after the election. Heck, in Commiefornia they "found" sacks of ballots a few weeks after the election last time around and that's just one example. In Pennsylvania the signatures don't even have to match which means anyone can scribble on a ballot, mail it in and have it counted. If people aren't willing to invest the minimal effort it takes to go to a polling place and cast a vote once or twice a year, so be it. They are not interested enough in our system of government to even put out that little effort.
I'm stuck with having to use a mail in ballot because I'm in New Jersey and Comrade Murphy has decreed that is the only way I can vote, unless I have some kind of disability. We, wife an I, will be going to our polling place fully expecting to be in line for at least a few hours to turn in that piece of paper just on the principal of casting our vote in person. F$CK COMRADE MURPHY!!!!!!!

While I agree with most of this @BobRegnar
Masks have been proven to be effective in reducing the R value ( spread value ) of the virus
That stated, the Democrats were completely behind and failing on the Mask facts and data early on. They do not get a passing grade on this. Personally I believe Biden, Cuomo , Harris would have done a worse job if they were in charge.
In fact NY CIty failed completely with this, and should have from the outset required masks on the subway.
It was not until April that NY City fully addressed this
( you can find a NY City order on April 12, 2020 )
Example of just one data point which allowed a small business to do business:
Hairstylists with COVID-19 didn't infect any of their 139 clients. Face masks may be why.
By Nicoletta Lanese - Staff Writer 14 July 2020
Hairstylists with COVID-19 didn't infect any of their 139 clients. Face masks may be why.
Two hair stylists in Missouri interacted with a total of 139 clients and six coworkers before learning they both had COVID-19 — thankfully, the stylists didn't pass the virus on to any of these contacts, according to a statement from the local health department.

Face masks: what the data say
The science supports that face coverings are saving lives during the coronavirus pandemic, and yet the debate trundles on. How much evidence is enough?

A 2006 pandemic plan warned that New York City could be short as many as 9,500 ventilators. But the city only acquired a few hundred, which were ultimately scrapped because it couldn’t afford to maintain them.

@sebastiantombs I did not state that I did vote in person. No mail in ballots for me. I am against it. See my post #3,762 above.
When I was overseas, you could vote absentee by going to the American Consulate. But then your vote only was counted if there was a close enough election that the absentee ballots could swing an election one way or another. I do not know if this is still the way it is done.

Sorry, I know it is frowned upon to post videos in stead of links, but this was sent to me so I have no link to it's original posting. But I really thought folks would like to see it. It's titled 'A True Bubba/Professional'

Have you seen any of the footage of the "peaceful protest" in Philly from last night. Right... Big screen TVs, other electronics, etc. all stolen from multiple stores. What exactly are they protesting again? On another note, I see that there are plenty of work boots and fathers day cards still in those stores...

It’s just those wacky social justice warriors having a mostly peaceful demonstration again.

Just so you know (if you have employees), you can now be sued for dismissing someone for not doing their job (because, of course, ALL of your customers are nothing but pesky racists)...

The peaceful protesters in Philly are protesting the death of a man, who happened to be black, who was shot as he advanced on two policeman, who were telling him to stop and drop the knife. The two police officers were backing up away from the knife wielding man as he advanced. The original call was for domestic violence. The knife wielding man had a long history of violent crime with and outstanding warrant for yet another, I believe. The whole incident occurred in "West Philly" which is a generally residential area with the typical smattering of small stores. The peaceful protesters broke up into groups and looted stores more toward, as in five miles away from the original incident, the downtown area of Philly where the pickings are much better. Apparently neither the police or National Guard monitored social media where this type of thing is planned and spread. Another fine example of looting and destruction being billed as a peaceful protest. The family of the dead man have been pleading for the rioting and looting to stop, but their words are falling on ears deafened by "I've got to get me some free stuff out of this".

Which goes again to destroy the whole BLM and "protesting" LIE that has become fashionable this year.
Just more crap from the free shit crowd. Simple.

I meant to add that the festivities last evening and night included multiple car jackings, including cars/trucks that had been stolen and loaded with looted goods so looters got looted, and about 30 shootings. Several of the shooting victims are hospitalized but I don't think there were any deaths, attributable to poor aim from holding the handgun sideways while firing. A full investigation of the original, police involved, shooting is underway according to the Chief of Police.
I vote for these rioters and looters to be hanged. open on street so others learn.
