I appreciate your efforts for your constituents and Indiana. Knowing that working with entrenched Republicans is a difficult job. I support your initiatives.
As far as closing time for the polls, you faled to mention that Indiana is one of a very small number of states that OPEN the polls at 6AM, thus giving responsible citizens TWELVE hours during the day to cast their ballots, at least as much time as over one-third of the other states, and are among the 80% of all states that have the polls open between 12 & 13 hours on Election Day.
I would actaully be in favor of keeping the polls open until 7PM, although even then folks would complain that is still not enough time. I would also like to see early voting severely curtailed, limited only to those who have a valid, provable excuse for not being able to physically get out and vote in person on Election Day (the reasons should be obvious).
Rep. Hamilton- I have voted for you in the past; however, the more I read your newsletters and hear your opinions on some issues, the less likely I am to vote for you in the future. Consider how your positions affect all of your constituents, and the pocketbooks of all Hoosiers, rather than those whose votes you apparently are trying to appeal for. Vote with head and your instincts, rather than what the (D) besides your name tells you to vote for.
