Opportunities to vote must increase. There are far more citizens voting in every election that passes. Single day voting is obsolete. It is impossible to have every registered voter cast their ballot in a voting booth on a particular day regardless of the numbers of hours at the polling place, unless every election is a national or state holiday. Even then all registered voters won’t fit into a 24 hour timeline if the polling place opens at 12:01 am and closed at 11:59 pm.
The polling places across the USA already have long lines, up to 11 hours long with absentee and multiple day voting. The idea a state legislature is compressing the opportunity to vote is a hateful act. Ease in voting has to prevail. Eliminating the absentee ballot will exclude a large number of citizens in the military. For a country with an active military that is unconscionable.
