Logan...I've been thinking about this all day. I have voted already as I did an absentee ballot. Convenience? I suppose so. But what if a member of the armed forces votes absentee and then is killed in action? Should that person's vote count? Do we want to hold up an election to determine cause of death? I agree with you in questioning the early voting. I seem to have lost the reasoning on that one but I think the question still remains whether death between the time of casting your ballot and...??? when it is counted? When the polls open officially?? Election day??

So I don't think it is an easy question nor does it have a simple answer.
