I have an issue with "Early Vote"

Who in the world thought to start calling it "Early Vote" and not just "Vote Early."

"Don't forget to early vote!" sounds like we all flunked English. The backwardness of it bugs me to no end.

That is all.

To vote early means to go to the polls early in the morning. To early vote means to vote prior to the main election day.

is that I don't get to do it because I live in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is all about making it more difficult to vote.

How's that? I agree with you, by the way. It's almost as grating as eating "healthy" foods.
