Discussion As a republican voting here in Ohio, to maximize the impact of my vote, is it better to vote early or to vote on election day?

1 vote is a vote regardless on when it arrives.

Say what? Dude, you have 1 vote, it doesn't like count for extra just because you voted on October 20th instead of November 3rd. It had the same impact anyone else's vote has.

They are just reporting because that’s the results they have to report on so far

Several of you have said it makes no difference and that’s what I thought too. Why does the media make such a big deal about early voting turn out? I guess that’s my real question.

One game Republicans like to play (and possibly Democrats too, I just personally haven't seen evidence of it for them) is to remove polling places in urban areas that lean D, making them have very long lines which discourage people from standing in them all day to vote.

Early voting helps reduce those lines, and reduce the number of people who decide it's not worth it to wait.

Because of lines. People are most likely not to vote if they drive up to the booth and see a large line. It's the same with Christmas shopping a lot of people wait last minute.

It makes no difference. I'm debating bothering going at all. I'll be damned before I vote for that anti American jerk Ramaswamy, but I won't vote Acton either. Genuinely want everyone to lose, both parties.

I'll probably go and leave a lot of blanks again. The Democrats continue to be awful and the current iteration of the Republican party is beyond disappointing and has strayed so far from conservatism that it is unrecognizable.

Election day. Let's surprise the dems again. They think they up BIG like in 2024.
