Early voting is smart

Early voting is convenient. Allowing people to cast a ballot on a day other than just one particular Tuesday in November helps people who work long hours, take care of young kids or otherwise have busy lives.

It helps election workers. Spreading out voting over several days or weeks helps lighten that load and gives them a chance to work out problems when they aren't on a tight deadline.

It safeguards your right to vote. If you go to vote early and there's a problem, you have plenty of time to fix it. Depending on the state, if there's a problem when you vote on Election Day, it may be too late to be fixed, or you could be forced to cast a provisional ballot that may not be counted.

It makes election interference harder. Attacks on elections infrastructure — whether electronic or through in-person intimidation — are less likely to have an effect when voting is spread out over days or weeks. - Ryan Teague Beckwith
