We are getting down to the wire of Election Day 2024, Tuesday, November 5th.
Early voting in person starts in most jurisdictions the last two weeks of October.
My county election commission starts here October 16, 2024. At the Election Commission Office: Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM with extended hours on some days.
If you find your voting place inconvenient, or you are unsure you can make it there that day, seek out your early voting opportunities.
With the terrorist plotting an election day attack, we should be concerned with something bigger being planned on that day. I hope the three letter entities are paying attention.
I had that very thought when I heard a report of a planned polling station attack.
Early voting reduces the target rich environment on the actual election date spreading the early voters over ten to fourteen days making them a less enticing target themselves.
That’s an interesting question: if ballots are destroyed, possibly in multiple areas, what would they do? I wonder if there’s a contingency plan for such an event.
How about forcing a vote in two locations each time, 1/2 vote count for each. In the end…they should match. If not, something happened, or folks waste their votes by one for each candidate.
It’s hard enough just getting citizens to vote just once. But, if ballots get destroyed, I do recommend replacing those ballots with replacement votes.
