early-voter-remorse.com?
Edited on Mon Feb-11-08 03:04 PM by SoCalDem
There seems to be a website for everything these days. I wonder how many people who were chomping at the bit to vote early..either by absentee or in person early-voting.. changed their minds after the fact

There ar always chances that after one votes in any election, they could have an epiphany, and realize that they voted for the wrong person , or that a ballot defect "cheated" them out of their vote, but early voting is a deliberate & euphoric stamp of personal approval ..and that's gotta sting, if later they decide that they voted for the wrong person, or the person they were crazy about and couldn't wait to vote for..dropped out before their vote even got a chance to be counted..

I don't know the actual numbers, but here in CA sources were saying that over 2.5 million absentee ballots were sent out a month before Super Tuesday..and early voting went on for almost a month before the election..

A site where people could weigh in, would be interesting..

Does anyone know how the "early & absentees" broke in the states where they were offered...versus the voting day results?

1. Well, even though my primary was Feb. 5,
I couldn't vote for Kucinich, because he'd dropped out. I was ill with pneumonia the two weeks before, so couldn't do early voting, and then the day of the election, there were tornadoes over my polling place. So I didn't vote. If the weather had been nicer, I would have been tempted to go vote and spoil my ballot by writing a political message on it (no write ins in Arkansas).
