Not a bad plan at all. Not an option for NY unless I can meet the following qualifications:

NEW YORK

You'll need to provide a valid excuse. Valid excuses are the same as those for by-mail absentee voting. You may vote early if you are:

unavoidably absent from your county on election day
unable to appear at the polls due to illness or disability
a patient in a Veterans’ Administration Hospital
detained in jail awaiting Grand Jury action or confined in prison after conviction for an offense other than a felony

In my state (IL) Early Voting takes place between 10/22 and 11/3 -- just need to provide a gov't photo ID to do so.

Woohoo!

The Chicago Method, of course.

Vote early, vote often.

I have visited the Windy City and am aware of some of their political history. Your post was a bit of a a dig at their colorful history and I must admit, it made me laugh, "Vote early, vote often."

Your statement about needing an excuse has stayed with me and I started wondering about the rules in other states. I had no idea the methods and rules were so diverse.
