    I’d speculate that “today isn’t a good day for me to vote” is simply an uncommon reason for people not voting. Probably more common are things like:

    • “My vote doesn’t matter”
    • “I can’t wait in a line for hours”
    • “My polling place is too far”

      Doesn’t early voting make the line shorter and give you more flexibility in polling location? (I don’t actually know, I’ve not voted early before)
