East coasters - PLEASE early vote before Hurricane Sandy hits

[Lakerstan]

With the possibility of flooding and/or snow, we could lose a couple of good voting days next week, and we need to build up our early vote counts to make it more difficult for the Republicans to catch up!

GOTV efforts need to push hard between now and Monday!!!

1. We only have absentee voting here in NY. I hope things work out.

Early voting is not big here in the northeast.

4. Does the Law Make Any Allowance for Absentee Ballots being Delayed by Horrible Weather?

A lot of absentee ballots might not get back by Election Day, with this storm certain to cause massive delays in mail delivery.

8. the governor can declare an emergency and extend the time the ballots take to get to the

Board of elections.

3. Early voting in Maryland starts Saturday

I never voted early before but may try it this weekend. The storm is supposed to make landfall on Monday. I heard New Jersey is ground zero but that could change.

6. I'm more worried about my house being flooded than I am about voting a week later.

9. Us North Easterners are election day voters.

I'm actually scared to death. Live in NYC. Quietly freaking out.

11. Did you hear the local CBS report that 100,000 absentee ballots were requested citywide and

Large amounts(no number was given) have not even been given out because of low staffing at the Board of elections. They claim they will get all of them out, but i do not have confidence in the NYC BOE.

14. My Mom sent hers in days ago.

She's 91 with cancer and assorted other stuff and wanted to make sure nothing stopped her from voting.

10. The northeast does not for the most part have in person early voting.

MD, DC, and ME are the exceptions I believe.

13. No early voting in PA.

The storm will be long gone by Nov 6th anyway.

[Divine Discontent]

15. I guess the biggest concern is an early winter storm

I guess people are really just wanting people to early vote if it's possible in their state, to make sure they vote, just in case something happens. Good idea if you have the time to do early voting, but I think this is going to be just gone for most of the US on election day, hoping just in time! HOPING!!

16. No early voting in Conn.

Don't worry, we'll have the polls up on generator is needed.
