It allows, encourages, citizens to become involved in the selection of OUR elected representatives.
Here is Colorado, early voting starts two weeks before election day with voting centers located in convenient location around the state. You can also select to receive mail-in ballots only so there is no reason for anyone to have to leave their home and trek to a polling place on election day.

We still do have problems with voter lines in some locations and we have had horrible election problems in the past. But the Colorado state legislature has been working in a bipartisan fashion to resolve any issues which in anyway restricts any Colorado citizen from voting.

The Colorado voting laws should be a model for other states across the country.

I don’t want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people, they never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.”
Paul Weyrich, the conservative thinker and strategist whose iron principles, articulate fervor and organization-building skills were instrumental in propelling the right wing of the Republican Party to power and prominence in the 1980s and ’90s
