I have always voted in person and plan on doing so again in November. I have always had the luxury to do so in most cases, but I have a brother that constantly works 12 hour days and sometimes pulls a double, meaning 16 hour days so he may not feel like making time to vote between 6am and 7:30 pm on election day. The only time I wished that I voted early or mailed in a ballot was the Nov.3rd 2004 election. I was at Jewish hospital in Kenwood for two days straight as a close family member was dying from stage 4 renal cell cancer and I didn't want to leave her side. I did run home, jumped in the shower and got in line at my polling place at 6am, had to wait about 20 minutes in line, voted, and high tailed it back to the hospital where my loved one later died around 8pm that night. Maybe if we made election day a holiday and everyone had that day off I could come around to your point of view somewhat.
