It’s nutty that we only have one 14 hour window to vote, on a workday/weekday. I’m voting YES for early voting.

Simple, one party knows that poor people who have more difficulty taking time off work, finding transportation, etc. are less likely to vote for them, so anything they can do to make it more difficult for them to vote tilts the odds in their favor.

When they can't win democratically, they will abandon democracy.

The one party with only half as many registered voters as the other? The one party that hasn’t won a statewide race in over a decade? That’s what you’re going to blame it on?

Yes because despite losses, they still have unlimited dark money, no marriage with truth, and a willingness to use political violence. This is also nationwide.

It’s nutty that you can’t find time in those 14 hours

Vote no then. There’s 37 states that permit early voting, hopefully CT will be next.

Hopefully they will be next, and I’ll be voting yes. Just don’t understand why it is so hard for people to find a few minutes out of fourteen hours when Election Day is always the second Tuesday of November. It’s not like it’s a secret day revealed hours before.
