North Carolina has completed early voting. In Pamlico County, we expect a few more absentee votes between now and election day. So far, 4,382 Pamlico County voters have cast ballots. That number constitutes about 46.35% of our registered voters.
No one can know how many more will vote next Tuesday. If the last presidential election is any guide, there should be at least 2,500 additional votes cast. Maybe more.
Rain is forecast for Tuesday.
But that rain will be nothing compared to the challenges facing voters and election officials in New York and New Jersey. Where will people vote? How will they get there?
New Jersey officials have decided to allow electronic voting.
In the meantime, some voters are planning to sue the Ohio Secretary of State for allegedly installing experimental software between county vote tabulation equipment and the state tabulators.
In North Carolina there is a little carping about a handful of voting machines out of calibration. In Pamlico County, we have never had a voting machine lose calibration during an election.
At election time, I'm happy to be here.
