Currently early voting goes from 9:00 to 4:30 and 2 on Saturday. I just have to wonder how many people are showing up between 9 and 2. Wouldn't it be more conducive to attracting early voters to being open from 2 until 8. Don't most voters work during the day?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309311177399464085.post-84089844353614253662009-03-24T14:47:00.000-05:002009-03-24T14:47:00.000-05:00It does cost way more, because they have to hire e...It does cost way more, because they have to hire election judges and have the polling place staffed during the specified hours. That's why they've drastically cut down on the number of early voting locations in the last two elections. However, early voting isn't up to the County - it's state law.Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543583197097665761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309311177399464085.post-86627515187106226672009-03-24T14:36:00.000-05:002009-03-24T14:36:00.000-05:00Any idea as to what this cost?Has to be wayyyyyyyy...Any idea as to what this cost?<BR/><BR/>Has to be wayyyyyyyy more than the cost of one day voting.<BR/><BR/>Given the condition of the Lake County finances, I would think the folks who spend OUR money would use it more wisely until the County's income gets back to normal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309311177399464085.post-91598367513285856602009-03-18T15:27:00.000-05:002009-03-18T15:27:00.000-05:00Thanks for the clarification Nicki!Thanks for the clarification Nicki!LC Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014760432579737714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309311177399464085.post-18701395169313625962009-03-18T09:04:00.000-05:002009-03-18T09:04:00.000-05:00It's not entirely correct that township offices ar...It's not entirely correct that township offices are the early voting locations.
