Perhaps, at that time, the voters earned the respect of the politicians.

People have been voting early for decades....

In localities with limited precincts and machines, it is necessary to allow everyone ample time to get through the process.

How well has the "War on Poverty " worked out? What has been the investment since LBJ, and how has all that $$ impacted the poor among us?

I believe the poor will always be among us.

There will always be poor people.
No one denies that.
But even though they are poor, they are still entitled to vote.

It's kind of funny... seeing as how the Rs dislike the poor so much, wouldn't you think they would quit making so many of them??

Not liking the policies of one party does not imply that I endorse the policies of another.

Of course it's much better for the government to make everyone equally poor
