'''Early voting''', better described as "political-machine voting," refers to extending voting over many days or weeks, without safeguards against voter fraud.  "In 2020, 43% of voters cast ballots by mail and another 26% voted in person before Election Day. In 2016, 21% mailed in their ballots and 19% voted in person prior to Election Day."<ref>https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/04/what-methods-did-people-use-to-vote-in-2020-election.html</ref>

In a system that unwisely permits early voting, however, there are [[conservative]] reasons for voting early. It's like a sport where a [[liberal]] rule change is made, such as adding the "designated hitter" in baseball, and then it becomes necessary to exploit the rule change to win. Voting early frees a conservative campaign from spending scarce resources to turn out these votes, and avoids the injustice of a polling precinct running out of paper ballots.  Voting early also avoids obstacles such as natural disasters, health or transportation issues, and unexpected need to travel out-of-town.

'''''Early voting is a liberal gimmick that has the effect of partially disenfranchising the value of informed votes on Election Day'''''.  In 2013, states began working towards a restoration of [[Election Day]] voting by cutting back on the expansive early voting.  For example, Nebraska trimmed its period of early voting back a bit.<ref>https://www.propublica.org/article/voting-rights-by-state-map</ref>
