Yet more than 100% turnout is common in many democrat districts.
The Toons know they are already in trouble.
Ross Perot, pickup on line 1
It's just another way to steal elections and make sure the lazy, indolent, and low-lifes get to the polls "on time".
The Supervisor of Elections main office, at 240 S.. Military Trail, West Palm Beach, will allow people to cast absentee ballots today from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The office also was open on Sunday to allow people to cast absentee ballots.
Voting by absentee ballot is different than early voting. Early voting, which began Oct. 27 and ended Saturday, is just like Election Day. Voters fill out ballots and feed them into tabulation machines. They are alerted if they voted for more than one candidate or otherwise fouled their ballot. On Sunday and today, voters fill out absentee ballots and hand them to clerks who will take them to the tabulation center in Riviera Beach to be counted if all is in order.
Early Voting ended Saturday in Palm Beach County, drawing 18,915 voters, many of who stood in hours-long lines. In an unexpected move on Sunday, Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher threw open the doors of her main office and allowed people to cast absentee ballots.

Besides the Orange County challenge, Democrats filed a federal lawsuit Sunday seeking more voting time in Broward County and in Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties, where balloting didn't wrap up until early Sunday morning to accommodate voters still standing in long lines when the polls closed.
The Miami-Dade elections office reopened to accept absentee ballots Sunday after shutting down temporarily.
Deputy Supervisor Christina White said officials closed the location out of concern that their limited personnel and one printer couldn't handle the large crowd who showed up. Voters banged on the front doors and demanded to vote, prompting staff to reopen the office about an hour later.
Palm Beach County began accepting absentee ballots at 9 a.m. Sunday. "I decided to open because we are allowed to do so," said Susan Bucher, supervisor of elections in Palm Beach County.

Contrary to White's statement they where not allowed. But undeterred they abused absentee ballots:
Katie Ballard was one of the first Republicans to hear the buzz about Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher’s last-minute move to extend early voting.
Using a loophole that would allow voters to request an absentee ballot in person, Bucher made the decision to open up voting Sunday and Monday at her main offices in West Palm Beach.
Ballard, who works for Republican state Rep. Bill Hager, is among many who had a problem with the lack of disclosure on the part of the Democratic elections supervisor.
Bucher admitted sending an announcement to choice media outlets (conservative Biz Pac Review was excluded).
None of the candidates, campaigns or Republican Party leaders were notified.

Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher said she did not see it as her “responsibility” to notify political party leaders or candidates of her last-minute decision to extend early voting via in-person absentee ballot Sunday and Monday.
County Republicans have a different perspective.
The decision sparked confusion and outrage, with some even suggesting Bucher, a Democrat, was trying to influence the election.
Katie Ballard, campaign manager for Republican state Rep. Bill Hager, was the first to be tipped off, around 11:30 a.m. Sunday. She said she immediately called GOP party leaders and went to Bucher’s West Palm Beach headquarters.
Republican leaders, she said, had no idea.
When Ballard arrived to find a number of campaign operatives and candidates from the Democratic Party already in position, she said she felt something was “not right,” especially when she saw that Republican campaign signs had been torn down and that no Republican representatives were on scene.

Emphasis added.
Democrat stronghold Palm Beach County was allowed two extra days of voting.
Does this include all 57 states?
You could not be more embarrassingly wrong. That provision refers specifically to the electors in the electoral college. The Constitution does not specifiy the time, place, or manner for electing the electors; rather, it leaves that to Congress to decide.
An addendum to my post 60 to you. I was the Judge of the Early Voting Ballot Board in my county for ten years. On the day after the election, our duty was to go through the Provisional Ballots, where your ballot would have gone if you insisted on voting in a precinct where your name was not on the precinct list. We would use the master voting list to determine if you were on the list. If not, we would place the ballot in its envelope, in a box of cancelled ballots and it would be stored for a few years.
In that ten years, we never found one Provisional Ballot that was a legal vote - they all went in the cancelled box.
“...where balloting didn’t wrap up until early Sunday morning to accommodate voters still standing in long lines when the polls closed.”
A polling place cannot close as long as there are voters in line. It appears it got too late in the evening, so the poll opened the next day, Sunday, so those still in line the day before could vote. This is legal as those voters in line must be allowed to vote.
Absentee ballots, which are different than going to the poll to vote, may be delivered in their legal envelopes to the election supervisor at any time from the date they first begin to be delivered, up to and including election day itself.
Again, I was the Judge of the Early Voting Ballot board and we examined every absentee ballot - many hundreds of them and some were delivered to us on election day as they came in the mail that day. The ballot materials were examined to determine if they met with the law requirements and if the voter was a registered voter in the county.
Military ballots coming in from overseas are absentee ballots and the law gives them several days after election day to come in and be counted - the Early Voting Ballot Board goes through those ballots. During the Bush/Gore Florida fiasco, I was on the phone with their State Republican Chairman as some were making trouble trying to dump those military ballots - they were counted. I was also in touch with Kathleen Harris, the Secretary of State at that time, about the military ballots and other troubles that were going on.
I still say if one wants to complain about voting, buy the state election law book and find out how it works or you will find yourself with egg on your face because you don’t know how it works. Don’t gripe and complain unless you know the law that determines how elections work.
No one waited on line overnight, no one was turned away.
Since the spring Democrats had been complaining about early voting not being long enough.
Supervisor of Elections Bucher opened select polling places at 9:00 AM Sunday. In her own words she “found a way around the law” and passed out absentee ballots. There was one purpose: to extend early voting.
In my opinion - based on first hand observation - the Florida Democrat Supervisors of Elections are crooked as the day is long.
North of Palm Beach in St. Lucie county weeks after the election boxes of ballots were “found” in the office of Sup of Election Gertrude Walker. They screwed Allen West.
“...vote in 48 states each.” Why not try for all 57?
the Florida Division of Elections sent auditors to St. Lucie County to investigate, among other things, how a partial recount of early votes could lead to 799 ballots switching hands or disappearing.
After seeking to calm the concerns of the West campaign and Florida voters by stating in her press conference that the partial recount had corrected all outstanding errors, Walker boldly claimed that “every vote has been counted accurately.” Three days later, on November 16, Walker suddenly found 306 ballots in a box at her office that had not been counted. The St. Lucie County Canvassing Board immediately ordered a full recount of all early ballots with a deadline set for noon on November 18.
I call for her arrest.
Ah, yes, the constitution places quite a bit of the election logistics to the congress...and to the states. The point is that it requires congress to establish the DAY.
On the theory that the Democratic Party Election Stealing Appartus, the Multiple Voting Division, can’t be at every polling place all at the same time.
No thank you.
