Personally I think they should do something like opening the polls on October 1st and then have November 1st be closing day, and all through October we take a page from the aussies and just have a rolling cookout/party at each of the polling places.

Ya get your "I voted sticker" any time in the month and can walk right in for beer and hot dogs and heck maybe even some of Kronk's spinach puffs if that one guy can make Babish's recipe work like he said he was gonna at the planning meeting for who's bringing the goods, and best of all, it's rolling for a month, so you've got every opportunity to stop in and cast your ballot, or just to come back with your "I voted" sticker to keep enjoying the festivities!

This is our most sacred institution as a nation, we should be making a celebration out of it!

Yup, I'm in a state with mail voting, and it's great! The ballot comes with the "I voted" sticker, you can drop off the ballot any time before election day (or mail it), and you can check if they've received and counted it online. It's great! I've never been to a voting booth and I don't intend to ever go.

That sounds a lot like early voting which I have used in the past.
