[QUOTE="Nimnim, post: 1542595, member: 28856"] I would give those who serve in the military who are serving overseas who cannot come back to their local voting precinct the ability to vote absentee as letting all our overseas troops come back to vote would lead to two big issues. A substantial cost to transport all of them and a significantly reduced if not nonexistent military presence in some locations where that could prove disastrous. The non military shouldn't be allowed with certain exceptions such as medical where it's not cost effective to do. The rest shouldn't have an issue going to their local precinct, there's many groups that transport people to vote and many employers allow some time off to vote as well. I work nights so I'm normally sleeping when the polls are open for the most part but there's 3 voting locations with 5 miles of me, I can lose a little sleep to walk to mine if needed. [/QUOTE]
