Countdown: 2

[edelsont]

Today is Tuesday, October 20, 2020.  Two weeks remain before the general election concludes on Tuesday, November 3.

In North Carolina, early, in-person voting has begun.  It will continue, Monday through Saturday, from now through October 31.

To find out the locations of early voting sites in your North Carolina county, you can visit https://vt.ncsbe.gov/ossite/.

I voted yesterday.  I am pleased to tell you that stringent protections against the transmission of viruses were used at the polling place.

I have also felt some concern about a more human sort of threat: that some people might try to intimidate voters, or worse.  I am also glad to say that I witnessed no efforts of that kind.

And I am even more delighted to have learned that our local government has taken appropriate — if less visible — precautions against that possibility, too.  If anyone does attempt that sort of nonsense, the authorities are well positioned to stop them.
