Election Since 1845

I don't understand all the complaining and confusion about voting. The Federal Election is always on the first Tuesday after November 1st and has been since 1845. If you don't know that then you aren't the brightest apple in the bunch.

With that said I believe that only Votes received (In-Person or by Absentee Ballot) by 11:59 pm on Election Day - this year Tuesday, November 3rd - should be counted. The only extension should be given to Polling Places that have long lines or technical problems on Election Day.

In my State only Absentee Ballots received by 5 pm on Election Day are counted.
