Gov. Hutchinson signs order allowing absentee voting in Arkansas

ITTLE ROCK, Ark — Governor Hutchinson signed an executive order Friday, officially allowing Arkansans concerned about COVID-19 to vote using absentee ballots in the upcoming election.

The order also allows county clerks to prepare, but not open, any ballots that are received before election day.

The governor says that will help poll workers tally votes faster on election day.

Great. That's at least 35 states that any voter can vote by mail in Nov. There will be more too. Hoyt Aug 2020 #3

Trump says they will be thrown away or stolen. So everyone who believes Trump should avoid them.So the voting turnout for Trump will be low. Many will be too lazy or too busy or too frightened of virus to vote for Trump in person. Might snow. Might rain.

Of course we democrats know Trump is lying so we will have no problem voting by mail if that works for us.

in person. They stood in line for hours. Tell Trumpsters that they don't want to risk their lives by standing with DEMs. Considering, all they can contribute is a single vote. Odds are that will not make a difference.

Massacre, I don't trust that the PO will get my vote in.

I'll be voting in person.

I recommend for those who must do an absentee ballot that they drop it off at the designated places rather than sending it through the mail

We'll restore the Post Office once Joe is elected, but for now it is under the control of Donny Bodybags.
