Republican polls and early voting

According to Public Opinion Strategies, Martin O'Malley and Bob Ehrlich each get 41%, with 15% undecided. Also, Ben Cardin leads Kweisi Mfume by 6 points, and while Cardin would beat Michael Steele by 8 points, and Mfume and Steele are statistically tied. Since it's a partisan poll, I doubt it will change things much.

Also, as I'm sure most readers have heard, the early voting law was struck down in court, though the decision has been stayed until the state's highest court can weigh in. This is definitely a blow, not just for Democrats, but for the always worthy cause of making voting a more accessible process. It might have helped, though, if the General Assembly had made early voting available at every precinct, rather than just a few; that may not be financially possible, however. And how difficult would it be to amend the Constitution to allow early voting?
