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.
'''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>
