no surprise

anytime a new process is introduced in the eleventh hour and hasn't been fully tested to get the 'kinks' out of it, you're going to have issues

Your Spot-On Byte1, Thank you!
I'm expecting more votes counted then actual register voters in some states...

You should double-check the ballot you received and make sure it's legit. Our ballots clearly stated postage required.


But maybe you are going to vote in person, so it wouldn't matter. But I think your information might be incorrect.

There were no lines at the Sumter County office. Very large lobby with a box and a person wearing a mask receiving the ballots. We did not touch anything.


Not like you had to wait in line for an open voting booth that other people had used in a close-quarter situation.

Funny thing happened today. My former state sent me a notice that early voting started today and that I should get my vote in. Apparently, I am still registered in the other state as well as this state, which I have lived in for near ten years.

I'll be voting in person this coming week. My wife will also. I see no problem, since everyone will be social distancing and the booths are spaced. Guess I am not prone to mass hysteria. If I get infected, I'll let you know so that you can say "I told you so" and if your candidate loses, I will say "I told you so." On the other hand, if your candidate wins and I catch the virus it won't matter anyway.

I think you might be right. This will make 2000 a walk in the park. It will give circuses a bad rap. Fortunately, there will be a multitude of clowns.
