Republicans are encouraging voters to vote absentee because...
they will attack (or fake attack) some polling station on electoin day to keep everyone home. Therefore only absentee ballots are counted and republicans win!

I certainly hope this hypothesis is just due to my tinfoil hat :tinfoilhat: and not the brutal reality that BushCo are the most evil sons of bitches to run this country.

I don't care if I have to slay the devil himself...I'm going out to vote on election day!

1. I'm working at the polls
in our township. I figure the repugs can't attack every little town hall, school and fire station! :shrug:

7. yeah...you're right
It's the freepers that are most controlled by fear anyways. They're the ones who would stay home.

I know they're gonna try something, though. The school "turrrr alert" was bad enough. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

2. They wanted to lock votes in...
...before the debates.

Before 'buyer's remorse' could kick in.

5. Yes, they're slipping in the polls now...
So they want to secure their voters while they're pro-Bush. More people turn to Kerry every day, just look at all the polls. So naturally, they would like it best if the election could just be today.

3. Everyone encourages early voting. They always have.
The fewer people you need to reach on election day, the better.
