Good news this time, but I am still concerned for the future
we now have election month, not Election Day. We have drive-up voting, mass mail-in voting, instant registration, no ID voting, vastly different standards of handling and counting ballots and now apparently, running totals....
We are creating a corrupt system which will only result in lack of trust as time progresses.
AGREED.
Trump needs to make ELECTION REFORM a TOP Priority.
PUSH for Term Limits too.
Our voting system is a mess and a disgrace. We promote democracy around the world but can’t even manage to ensure integrity, consistency, security and timely results in our own elections.
I agree. I've been following the early voting threads in Florida for the past month and trying to make sense of all that data was about to make my head explode.
We are making this process WAY too complicated.
98% of us should be voting on the day at our local precinct. Or even make it an election weekend instead of having it on a Tuesday. Open the polls on Saturday and Sunday and DONE!
One encouraging sign, my wife voted absentee because she volunteered to be a poll worker today. When I showed up to vote this morning, her name was neatly crossed off the rolls. So at least they are taking measures in my state (CT) to ensure that those who vote early do not have the opportunity to vote a second time on Election Day.
If her name was not crossed off, I would have been pissed because then I would wonder how many people were voting twice.
