Is early voting a good idea that’s gone too far? A total of 34 states offer “no-excuse” absentee voting or another kind of early voting this year. The early voting period ranges from as much as 45 days before an election to as little as four days. Ironically, one of the big selling points used to justify early voting has proven to be a bust. Several studies, including one by American University and another by the University of Wisconsin, conclude that states that have adopted early voting have lower voter turnout than states without early voting.
