Given the dynamics of the election process, on election day only a finite number of people will be physically able to vote.

Prior to early voting, I do not recall having any issues or lines longer than about 1/2 hour at my polling places.

Some people are interactive, like the drama, the physical presence, concrete actions, and the interpersonal experience of going to the polling place, standing in line, and going through the on-site process. For them, in-person voting is best and more meaningful. I would call them qualitative voters.

Of course there will be long lines for this unnecessary process. <br /><br />Instead of encouraging people to vote early, you should encourage people to vote on election day when there are 900 precinct sign-in tables,700 voting locations, and minimal waiting.
