Steve Cortes explains why refusing to vote early hurts conservatives “I realize how much of us hate the current procedures for good reasons... we hate the way elections are structured. But here's the problem. It gives us a huge disadvantage versus the Democrats because their constituency has fully embraced...

The Democrats' financial advantage

It's a Catch-22. We hate early voting rules because a) it creates the 'election season' phenomenon, instead of the Constitution's election DAY, being, ya know, a single DAY, and b) a lot can happen between the day you cast your early vote and the actual election DAY😑; meaning there's no going back to change your vote if (hypothetically) your candidate committed murder 20 years ago...oopsie! But Cortez argues conservatives should play by the current rules, because if they don't they create a big disadvantage. The Catch-22? Conservatives want to eliminate early voting, but if we join the early voting brigade, we pump up the numbers of early voters, that makes it look like early voting is really popular, that makes the argument for eliminating early voting an attack on voting rights, so maybe we shouldn't vote early, but if we don't we're at a disadvantage, but if we do we make it harder to get rid of early voting... And round-and-round we go.

It's not the best situation to be in. But yes, to Steve's point, Democrats are voting this way, and it's giving them an advantage. We don't have much of a choice.

No. I always go to vote on election day. That should be the law. One day to vote in person. No early voting.

@ScottAdamsSays I used to be a staunch election day voter, the last two years. I voted early because I believe that MAGA should be voting early.

@ScottAdamsSays We don't have to agree with the rules to play by them.

@ScottAdamsSays No, but I do believe we need to change our game plan from time to time!

@ScottAdamsSays I always vote early in person to avoid the crowds and hubbub. I’m an independent, however.

Awesome. Thank you, Jay. I’ve shared this clip because for the first time I will be voting in person, early. For some strange reason, I’ve always prided myself for voting on Election Day. In 2016 at 7:30 PM, I headed to the town center to vote for Trump and… I got a flat tire 😂 It happens. But if you watch this video, there are even more & better reasons to vote very early. It saves your candidate money that can be better spent in other ways.

Election day voting creates an unknown factor in the election. Thats not a bad thing considering how things have gone since 2020.

I vote early, in person, but I live where my vote does not matter, someday I will move to a swing state.

Why does it matter if "we go in with massive deficits"? Are absolute election results dependent on trending numbers or if you vote at a certain time your vote counts differently from another time? This is unfortunately nonsense and "entering their frame" of corruption.

Make up? I thought numbers aren’t counted until Election Day.

What difference does it make that one side goes into election day with massive deficits? Does that actually change if or how anyone votes? I just can't imagine that changing my propensity or vote. Or is that a naive question? The only advantage I can see in "banking" my vote early is that it might head off a missed vote due to some kind of accident on or before voting day. But that's got to be rare.

@ScottAdamsSays This must be a joke. Why does it matter when someone votes? Its the fraud that is the problem. Mail in unsigned ballots. Steve Cortes apparently is an idiot or paid to help the Democrats so they know how many votes to cook up

I don't underdstand the point. So voting early determines who wins? Wasn't Biden behind by miles and then "stop counting" and the next day he was ahead by a mile? I'm missing the point. Someone educate me.

BS it makes no difference when votes come in you either gonna have enough or you don't it doesn't matter when it's counted or what day it comes in only way that argument holds any water is if democrats are printing fake ballots if they are all legitimate votes it makes no difference who's vote gets there 1st

California voter says she still gets mail in ballots at her home for entire families who used to live there as long as 8 years ago She says she knows California Democrats are rigging their elections and say LA mayor Karen Bass only won because of fraud mail in ballot dumps “Shocked. Nobody's talking about this. In Gavin Newsom's California, they called the recall against him prop 50 and his reelection bid in about, give or take 120 seconds. You can have your ballot counted, but you didn't even leave the parking lot of the polling center yet. Your vote did not count because it didn't even go on the truck yet, let alone get processed and counted. So the biggest state in the country, they're calling elections in 10 minutes. Let's go back to 2022 to the LA mayoral race. The day before the election, the LA Times drops an article Oh, the days of election day results are over. This election may take weeks to count. Sure. On election night, Caruso's got a strong lead. Time to go to bed, right? Uh oh. They only count votes on Tuesdays or Thursdays. So it took 3 weeks to count every ballot. Suddenly, massive mail in voter dumps kept coming in only for Caruso and Bass, but he was in a heavy lead. Where was those ballots coming from? The morgue, the cemetery, Korea town, East LA. Yeah, sure. We believe you. I still get ballots. To my home for people who haven't lived here in seven or eight years. Their mothers, their sisters, their brothers, their uncles, their cousins, who probably never even lived in California. We don't trust these elections. Democrats vote early, Republicans don't. So how can it be that all the new ballot dumps were for Democrats when they're the ones who usually vote in the beginning? Doesn't make sense. So since that election, everything's changed. The whole state's been counted in under 10 minutes. Sure. — Karen Bass was selected, not elected. — I've studied these elections now, these COVID elections for five years. We have to make it too big to rig. So in order to do that, we have to play their game bottom line. It's a terrible game, but we have to do it. And then we can make all the laws we want when we're back in charge. But right now, we got to take it back. We got to flip California red. And the only way we're going to do it is to play their stupid game”
