At this point for me it is more fear than frustration -- fear that there will be massive interruptions at polling places and people won't get to vote and the votes that will be counted are of those that actually make it to the polls and mail-in-votes. Those that couldn't get into the polls - -their votes obviously won't get counted because the polls will close. There has been a huge push in my county to vote by mail. We have received two applications now for mail-in voting. That has never happened in the 30 years that we've been down here. The application makes it look like it has been requested by the President himself, but the applications are being printed and mailed out by the county Supervisor of Elections.
@libertybele1. "...fear that there will be massive interruptions at polling places and people won't get to vote..."
Each voting precinct has a distance marker around the polling place and the only people allowed past the marker is a voter going in to vote. It is against the law for any other person to go past the marker. If someone does that, the election judge has the power of a district judge and will call law enforcement and that person or people will be arrested.
2. When it is time for the precinct to close on election day, those in line at that time, will be allowed to vote - anyone coming after closing time cannot vote.
3. Mail-in ballots. The board that evaluates mail-in ballots
meets days before election day in order to validate the ballots. (Trump seems to think nothing happens to mail ballots until election day - someone should tell him they are checked days before election day.) Because of that, the only mail-in ballots validated on election day are those that came through the mail on election day. At closing time on election day, the first ballots going through the machines are the early ballots and mail ballots.
4. "We have received two applications now for mail-in voting."
Sometimes, candidates send applications for mail ballots to older people. If other people in that state can vote by mail, the candidate can send applications to all those people.
One of your applications may come from your Florida Republican Party. Look on the applications for these words, likely in small print: "From the Florida Republican Party". It will have the return address of the County Supervisor of Elections so when you mail it that is where it goes.
