I closed my account with Chase during Occupy Wall Street and also never looked back. When I accidentally overdraft my credit union account, they just automatically pull it out of my savings account with no associated fee. Who'd've thunk having a computer automatically do something could be a free service

You have to think people who maintain a BoA account skew low-information

I'd be interested to culture petri dishes off my hand after I use a new paper towel to turn off the faucet vs grabbing the wet handle with my entire hand and shutting it off and then drying off my hand...

Paper towels folded over on themselves absolutely create a barrier between my hand and the door handle. I'm not talking about flushable paper or toilet seat covers

I wash my hands before I piss because my dick is the cleanest surface in that bathroom. Touch nothing afterward without a paper towel barrier

Does your butter say just "butter" on the label, or something like "butter product?" Check the fine print, because that's not butter

The question was about early voting though? Voting by mail is only a small piece of the early voting total in most states

Early voting in the US as we know it today, meaning going to a polling place to cast your vote in-person prior to election day, started in Texas in 1987 and spread to other states from there. Every state has its own specific rules regarding how long the early voting period lasts, and other aspects like how long polling places are open each day may even be left up to local governments.

Where I'm at in Texas, we have some early voting locations that stay open until 10pm, even on weekends. I've never had to wait more than 20 minutes to vote (and usually less) since I started voting in the 2000 election. We have 12 days to vote before election day, and even a website with real-time updates on wait times at each polling place across the county.

The drawback is there are fewer voting sites open during early voting, so people with transportation barriers will have to expend effort to get there, but you can do so on whatever day works for your schedule. On election day itself, way more polling sites are open, so there's likely to be a site within walking distance or a short drive in denser areas, but lines are much longer than during the early voting period, and many people have to work because it's a Tuesday and not a holiday

Also, Mississippi, Alabama, and New Hampshire have no early voting and pretty much require everyone in the entire state to vote on election day.
