Today is Tuesday, October 20, 2020. Two weeks remain before the
general election concludes on Tuesday, November 3.
</p>
<p>
In North Carolina, early, in-person voting has begun. It will
continue, Monday through Saturday, from now through October 31.
</p>
<p>
To find out the locations of early voting sites in your North
Carolina county, you can

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