1M Massachusetts voters cast ballots in 1st early voting

“We were angling for about 70 percent of registered voter turnout for this election”. “As a matter of fact, all we’ve got is compliments”. What’s the opposite of remorse?

Because of the contentious nature of the two campaigns, voters have become familiar with the positions of Republican nominee Donald Trump and his Democrat rival Hillary Clinton and they think that they are ready to take a decision on it. According to the data, their advantage is shrinking as Election Day draws closer, but this also happened in 2012, when Obama won.

It also means over 20% of the state’s registered voters will have cast ballots before Election Day itself.

It’s not even an option in Oklahoma.

In Ohio, the heavily Democratic counties of Cuyahoga and Franklin are posting declines in ballot requests compared to 2012, while Republican-leaning counties such as Warren have seen an increase.

The Travis County Clerk’s office is now estimating that the county will see a 60 to 61 percent early voter turnout, which means a total of 360 to 380,000 voters by the end of the day.

He calls it “hard-core entrenchment”.

In the polling place, only authorized people can be present during voting hours, such as voters and their minor children, poll workers, and someone assisting a voter. “But, with the large number of early votes, I feel confident things will run smoothly on Tuesday”.

These laws, when they first came into place, allowed registration only if the person had one of a few accepted photo IDs. “They just want it over with”.

Secretary of State Steve Simon reminds Minnesotans about the resources available to all eligible voters as they prepare to head to the polls and vote on Election Day, Nov. 8.

Mark Singer, 59, of Oklahoma City, said he had a plan, as well. “I personally know many Republicans that won’t admit that they are voting for Trump”. Hogan first said in February that he didn’t support Trump and in June confirmed that he wouldn’t vote for him.

He didn’t reveal who he voted for, but he said he’s “satisfied”.

DeBeauvoir said she’s happy to see a lot of people casting their ballots. “If you try to vote a second time, that’s a felony”, he said.

Presidential elections usually draw more voters to the polls, so Winn expected early voting to be busy.

“We’ve got apps and mobile websites and email and all of the stuff that we’re going to bring together for a holistic direct voter contact program that really reaches people where they are and enables them to organize their communities and get out the vote both on and off line”, she said.

“I certainly wouldn’t want to be president in January 2017”, he said.

The country is so polarized, he added, whoever wins will have a hard time building consensus to govern.
