You could argue that if they were more disciplined in using their time wisely then they could surely vote early, but sometimes when your prepairing to be gone for a year or so, the time you WANT and SHOULD be disciplined in using, is that with your family. Voting gets put off. Not saying it makes it right, just that I couldn't fault someone for wanting to spend every waking second with their kids, wife and family, verses going down to the clerks office.

Antman, you clearly have never had the chance to witness a Second Lieutenant fullfilling the duties of Voting Assistance Officer.
As for the "WANT and SHOULD" comment. BS. You do what needs doing. And Shoulds come before Wants.
BTW that 2LT will be waiting downrange, too
