BBV - Absentee voters stuck with choices

[harmonyguy]

Could something really happen that would make an early voter regret a choice?

“In this election year,” Gans’ report says, “it is conceivable that there could be a major terrorist act:scared: in the United States in the period before Election Day but after no-excuse absentee, early or mail voting commenced. Or perhaps in the same period, Osama bin Laden could be captured :boring:or killed. Depending on how close to the election these things occur, as many as 25 million Americans might have already cast ballots without these major developments to guide their vote.”

If a candidate dies,:nuke: for instance, after the absentee ballots are mailed out and after walk-in votes have cast their ballots, it would create “a huge nightmare that election directors don’t even like to think about,” Finlayson said.

(Not liking the tone of this article, I tried to add some levity to a serious subject. It didn't help!)

1. non-starter

if an event happened that would cause that much regret among absentee voters, the regular election would be a blowout anyway, and the absentees would not even get counted
