NO ONE SHOULD EVER MAIL IN THEIR BALLOT OR OTHERWISE VOTE EARLY. Instead, drop it off at a drop site on election day!

We rode our bikes down and put them in the collection boxes.

You never know what will transpire in a campaign's final days, e.g., whether that Senatorial candidate you voted for will turn out to be a closet KKK member or sex perv or something. Campaigns will often sit on damaging info about an opponent until a week or so before the election, so as to do maximum damage.

Voting early is like reviewing a movie that you left halfway through.

Heh. Given some of the members we currently have in our ruling class, I would be surpised if they did NOT have some skeletons in their closets.

One thing that interests me, tho, is endorsements. Various news/opinion/blogs organizations and groups make their endorsements well before election. Doesn't that same logic you give lend itself to Jack Bog getting a faceful o flounder, not to mention the O or WWeek? Admittedly, an endorsement isn't a vote, but why would they do their endorsements so early as well?
