Is 45 days too long? Political fight begins over Virginia's early voting period

[RandySF]

Virginia’s 45-day period of early in-person voting before an election, one of the longest in the nation, could be significantly shortened under legislation rolled out by Republican Del. Chad Green.

The measure would reduce the early voting window to just 10 days, a move that has already sparked debate.

“This was brought to me by some of our electoral board and election workers,” Green told WTOP. “They’re getting burned out.”

Green said 45 days was “way too long” and argued that a shorter early voting period would reduce both the administrative burden on election officials and the risk of fraud.

1. Before I can give my opinion, I need an answer to this question:

If you vote on September 25th, can you rescind your vote if you want to before Election Day?

2. They really hate the long voting times.

It helps those who usually vote Democratic, thanks to those people actually working for a living.

Workers usually don't like rich rethugs and their policies. Well, coherent workers, anyway.
