This election year 2008 there seems to be a new phenonmen here in Ohio. It is called early voting. It allows people to register and vote on the same day. The Obama campaign is pushing this early voting. I see internet and hear radio ads calling for us to register and vote on the same day. Is this early voting constitutional, do we have a constitution anymore? For the constitution in Article II which pertains to the executive branch says in clause 4
"Clause 4: The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States. "
So an unbiassed and true reading of the constitution clearly forbids this early voting. For the constituiion requires that the voting "be the same throughout the United States. "
So here is a possible scenario for McCain if it were to come down to Ohio again. All these people that are voting early. They are not voting constitutionally. What if a fuss was to be made about this and these votes were to be tossed. It could change the election and make the next President. Remember there is precedence now from 2000 and courts can now have a say in elections.
