Come on. Redistricting is about who represents whom in Congress or the statehouse. Early voting is a convenience (an arguable convenience, but that is what it is), and is not available at all regular polling locations. Complaining that the special polling place is farther away than your normal one is just silly. And these kids (yes, I used the term as I wished it to appear) have a misplaced and weird sense of their voting rights. A protest about who represents you is one thing. A protest about an early polling place is a waste of time. If you don't want to go 7 miles, wait until Election Day and vote at your regularly assigned polling place. It's not a difficult concept.

Repairman has it exactly right. And these kids have it exactly wrong. Maybe over time, they will figure out what is worth arguing nd whngng over and save their "outrage" for those things. In the meantime, I surely hope they exhibit better judgment and decision making skills while they're in their early voting location than they demonstrated on the way there.

Oh, and while we're discussing early voting (including absentee voting), in my state, several early voters lost their ability to pick a viable candidate, as more than half the field withdrew from the race before the primary was actually held. So everyone who voted early for one of those withdrawn candidates essentially voted for no one. Early voting isn't all it's cracked up to be.
