Early voting: More good signs for Clinton in key states

Both major political parties are now promoting the virtues of early voting.

The strong early-voting turnout by those likely to support Clinton – registered Democrats, minorities, and young people among others – could leave Donald Trump with virtually no path to the 270 electoral votes needed for victory. Registered Alachua county voters can cast their ballot at any early voting site. But some weren’t even aware they could vote early. Voters may also ask an election judge to explain how to vote on the voting system, but a voter must vote alone, unless the voter is unable to do so because of disability, inability to write, or inability to read the ballot. There is one thing that the majority of Americans can agree on and that is – it is time to vote and time for these brutal presidential campaigns to come to an end. “That’s why you saw Hillary Clinton in Cleveland last week”.

Florida is a battleground state and the start of early voting has prompted Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton to sweep through the state. Clinton draws smaller crowds to her events and has been perceived by some voters the lesser of two evils.

OH remains a tight race, according to recent polls, but the election is far from over. Civil rights groups in Arizona have failed to defeat a new law that makes it illegal for them to collect absentee ballots by hand, a popular practice in Hispanic and Native American neighborhoods. At this point in 2012, almost 419,000 ballots had been cast.

Guilford County Board of Elections Director Charlie Collicutt said that this year, his county of 355,000 registered voters will have about 1,560 poll workers who undergo four to five hours of training by the board to help conduct the election. On Election Day, polls are open from 7 a.m. through 8 p.m., and if you are in line by 8 p.m. you will be allowed to vote. For the moment, these numbers show how these counties are performing in turnout based on the state as a whole, and so far, Democrats are under-performing in two key counties, Broward and Palm Beach.

GOP officials are working to get their voters to the polls. The application to vote absentee may be requested by the voter, their spouse, parents, or children, and it must be notarized.

In total, 12,256 absentee voters were on the state’s roster as of Wednesday evening, according to data from the secretary of state’s office.

GoVoteKY.com is Kentucky’s one-stop elections portal where voters can find their polling location, view sample ballots, and find other important elections information.

Republicans have attacked the outgoing president’s signature health care reform since it was passed, but they have found new traction after officials confirmed this week that voters’ premiums will jump an average of 25 percent next year.

Perhaps you think a race is all tied up by a candidate, and you don’t need to bother voting. But Thursday kicks off the final 10-day stretch, with more early voting sites, that was covered in the plans counties made before the ruling.

“In terms of enthusiasm, we feel like we have an edge in Hamilton County”, Ohio Republican Party spokeswoman Brittany Warner said.

However, far from trying to accommodate voters, the right wing governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, has tried to prevent many Wisconsinites from casting ballots.

The writer, using the single name “Kosar”, complains that “This is bad news, as many states will cast as many as 40 percent of their ballots before Election Day”.

Some counties chose not to extend their peak early voting capacity to the first week – sometimes over Democratic objections. Early voters in various Texas districts – including Dallas, Collin and Tarrant counties – believe it is.

“What we are seeing is a pattern where local officials are clearly taking actions that are meant to undermine the weight of the court’s rulings”, Clarke said.
