Reply to comment by sjsmac in Connecticut to decide on early voting in November referendum by jr_reddit
I’m a independent and I’m against it opens the door for more tampering with things and I know I’ll get that don’t happen but yet there is a ton of articles about people from both sides getting in trouble for it

You realize that anyone who wants to vote early already can do so by simply stating they will be out of town during all voting hours, right?
Lived in CT since 2016. Voted in every election, 2020 general election was the only time I had to race to the polls at the end of the night from work because my absentee ballot never got sent.
This past primary election I went to the clerk's office 3 weeks before the election, got my ballot, filled it out on the spot and handed it right back to them.
In order to even get my ballot I had to show ID and get cross-checked against the active voter rolls. You don't just waltz in and grab a handful of ballots.

I get that so why we wasting money pushing it more having boxes outside places to put the absentee in .. you realize if someone wanted to tamper with things they damage the box somehow .now how did they know who’s votes were in there .. I just seen too many issues at a city level and don’t trust the people in charge and don’t think it can be done legit .

Vernon tried putting their box inside the town hall so it could be protected and got sued for it...

Wonder if inside the post office would be better. I’m gonna guess the lawsuit was based on that is was stored in a political building where officals can influence people? Like how people can’t be within 75 ft of the polls

The town hall is not a polling place. They literally wanted it just inside the door, in the main hallway. People sued because there wasn't 24/7 access.

Election fraud is so rare as to be statistically nonexistent.

Yet there are stories about it occurring every election cycle.
