Shouldn't they extend voting hours in Milwaukee, Madison, other precincts experiencing HIGH turnout?

In light of record turnout, I'm not surprised that they're not extending polling times.





...or should I be surprised?

1. My impression from other posts is that they can't for turnout alone.

It has to be something procedural, like having to send for more ballots or issues with equipment.

7. But that's what's going on. They have to print/send more ballots in several precincts because

there's not enough.

2. I think that as long as people are in line, before the polls close, they can vote

I would hope so, anyway.

3. That's what John Nichols reporting from Madison said.

4. In line by 8 pm, you vote.

So, basically, hours automatically extend.

5. Yep, I was just going to post that

so, right, the hours are extended so to speak.

9. Ed said as long as you are in the line you will be able to vote no matter what. Don't leave the

line

10. Absolutely correct. People in line at the poll closing will get to vote.
