Emphasize EARLY VOTING in every state ...

This is why we need to emphasize ...

EARLY VOTING in every state. To eliminate the confrontations on election day. The challenges, the possible 'long lines' broken voting machines, poll hours ... etc... etc... The repubs voter suppression plans will only get worse on election day full force. EARLY VOTE NOW if you can ... like Michell Obama did today. President Obama is going to be the first President ever ... to Vote Early ... and not on election day ... there is a method to this madness. And he wants us to do the same in overwhelming numbers. 40 states are already voting early in some way or another. Thanks for you time.

ps: Anyone remember the 2004 election debacle? And don't let anyone tell you we lack 'Enthusiasm' Forward.

other Mainahs voted early and ticked the box for Democrat Libby Mitchell, only to find she had dropped back in the polls leaving only the independent standing between us and a Teapublican. Sadly, it is the latter who is now our governor. *sigh* (Darned strategic voting!!)
