We don't have early voting here in CT. It's very difficult to get an absentee ballot - you have to be totally unable to get to your polling place (e.g. off at college, traveling on business) during the 14 hours when the polls are open. "I don't wanna get in line to vote at 6am before work" is not a valid excuse.
As it happens, I was nearly 25 years old before I cast a vote in a voting booth. I voted absentee while in college, and my first job out of college required a lot of travel, so I continued to vote absentee. My standby "I Never" challenge was "I've never voted in a voting booth."
