@rickhasen @MichaelMcGough3 but early voting can reduce turnout, so how is lack of it a meaningful "burden"?

@jadler1969 @MichaelMcGough3 but certainly some voters are burdened by lack of alternatives (e.g., those out of state on election day) (3)

@jadler1969 @MichaelMcGough3 and state should have good reason for not offering either in person or absentee early voting as alternative (4)

@rickhasen @MichaelMcGough3 might agree as policy matter; don't see how Const or VRA requires that.

@jadler1969 @MichaelMcGough3 claim is constitutional one about relieving burdens on voters absent important state reasons

@jadler1969 @MichaelMcGough3 and it is claim that would require rethinking jurisprudence, as I indicate in piece. Not the current framework

@jadler1969 @MichaelMcGough3 It puts a thumb on the scale favoring voters' ability to cast a ballot which will be counted

@rickhasen @MichaelMcGough3 I think that's a better soundness than it is meaningful & justiciable standard
