Do you actually, physically, have to show up, to cast an early vote?

Early voting in SC requires ordering an absentee ballot. I got mine a few days ago. I just can't stomach not being able to make a mark on a piece of paper. At least I can delude myself into thinking that way my vote has less chance of being not counted or altered. Sigh.

In reply to artyskox.

It's not required to vote - all you have to do is show your driver's license and they cross-reference it via database lookup. I was going to point out that they even have Saturday hours, but it looks like that won't do you much good...

I'd like to and I've been thinking about it but.. how screwed up is it that I have no time to vote early o.O?

I'm packing tonight, leaving work at 2pm tomorrow for Orlando. Monday morning flying Orlando to Fort Worth, arriving back at Midway at 5pm Oct 30th.

I'm still a bit confused having not received a voter registration card back ... or if I even need one? Maybe they're waiting to send those out?

Only thing keeping me from voting early...

Cook County Suburbanites can vote nearly anywhere in Suburban Cook, plus at the Clerk's office downtown. But to accommodate that convenience, while still giving everybody the ballot for their precinct, the voting is electronic.

I could walk to the Village Hall, which is right by me, and vote, but I'm wondering if waiting until Election Day will get me the chance to make an indelible mark on a piece of actual paper.

I voted early! In Columbus, Ohio - Franklin County Board of Elections

I don't want to wait in line this year.

What timing!
I was just about to look up an early voting location for myself.

I'm still iffy on early voting. If the election is going to be rigged and voter fraud is going to be scrutinized, I'd rather have my ballot thrown out with the majority of people voting on November 4th than with those cast, and cast aside, early.
