Does not appear to be an attempt at actual tampering, since I've heard reports from people identifying as members of both parties. But it's making some people kind of wonder if pushing early voting so much is in fact a bad idea.Sorry to derail the thread so early... Does your system not have early voting in person? In Canada, one can vote by mail ("absentee voting") or at the riding's (district's) Returning Officer's office on particular published days before the general election day ("advance voting"), and we consider these to be two different types of early voting.
