ABA Journal: Expect litigation over absentee ballots, and expect delays in the vote count, Common Cause warns
“It will be a while before we have results” as a result of the litigation, said Sylvia Albert, director of voting and elections at Common Cause, a watchdog group based in Washington, D.C., in a webinar Tuesday.
In Pennsylvania, election deniers are already planning to challenge the results if the election doesn’t go their way, according to Khalif Ali, executive director of Common Cause Pennsylvania.
“Pennsylvania is ground zero for the battle over the freedom to vote,” he said.
In Georgia, voters have to include a copy of a government-issued ID with their absentee ballot application. A “live wet signature” is also needed, according to Aunna Dennis, executive director of Common Cause Georgia. An electronic signature won’t be accepted.
