Reply to comment by Lazy-Grapefruit-2708 in We are New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver and Commissioner Benjamin Hovland of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC). Today is #VoteEarlyDay and we want to help every voter understand their options to vote early in-person or by mail. Ask Us Anything! by voteearlyday

SEC. TOULOUSE OLIVER: Because Election Day isn't just the only day to vote anymore, it's the LAST CHANCE to vote. Murphy's Law is always in effect, so banking your vote early ensures you won't run into any challenges that keep you from voting on Election Day.

I think that’s an important message : FINAL VOTING DAY.

COMMISSIONER HOVLAND: Absolutely! We have seen the trend over the last decade or more that Americans want options to vote. With the pandemic in 2020, we saw record numbers of Americans voting by mail and voting early. That experience will certainly expedite the trend toward Election Day being the last day for Americans to cast their ballot rather than the only day.

Voting early allows cheaters to create more ballots to beat the Republicans.

Election Day voters are primarily Republican.
