Fixed dates and recall are two policies that just do nothing for me. I'm not so much against them as I am just ambivalent. I don't see the efficacy at all, and dare I say that I think it's good that candidates are out working for our votes early! Maybe more people will be contacted and voter turnout will go up.

Candidates would be out early in either scenario. Fixed dates could actually help turnout too; people could plan around it.
Never mind the fact that candidates, campaign managers, some volunteers could plan their leave of absence from work better as well.
