I must admit, ‘early voting’ does have a benefit - namely voter convenience -, yet ‘early’ presupposes a frame of reference - namely a specified election ‘day.’

I think 30 states already have enacted early voting, which is actually a 4-6 week voting season. These states also maintain an election ‘day.’ But why? If citizens can conveniently cast their ballot anytime during a 4-6 week voting season, what ´s the point to funding and manning the polls on election ‘day?’
