The case against early voting

Early voting for the 2024 presidential election is underway, and the numbers have been massive. On its first day of early voting, Georgia had more than 300,000 people cast ballots, shattering previous opening-day records. North Carolina had a record first day as well, topping 350,000.

Should we allow so many people to vote before Election Day? Certainly, some exceptions have always existed for absentee ballots when people know they will be out of town, facing a medical procedure, or similar circumstances. However, we should question whether opening early voting to all makes sense.
