[quote]Many of the states that allowed early voting this year experienced few delays on Election Day, and now federal election officials, lawmakers and voting experts say people in every state should have the same privilege.

There is also increasing support for broadly expanding voter registration rolls, possibly by having the federal government require the states to make registration automatic for all eligible voters. Supporters say universal registration could reduce registration fraud and the confusion at the polls that results when voters are purged from the rolls.

Such a plan would be costly and technologically difficult, and it could run into resistance from Republicans who have been wary of expanding registration, citing concerns about ineligible voters being added to the rolls. Some state officials say they would prefer to set registration standards themselves.

But independent experts say easier registration and voting methods would ensure that huge crowds like those on Tuesday turn out without being discouraged by the long delays experienced in many states.

The more people vote, the sooner the GOP winds up Demographicked to death.

A part of me bristles at the idea of federally mandating early voting (despite that it's an amazing idea that I'm very surprised hadn't caught on long before this).

But because of my parenthesized portion is the reason it does need to be federally mandated. This is a brilliant idea that actually lets people vote and there are states out there (mine included) whose heads are so far up their own asses that they can't be bothered to do it.
