Elections and severe weather question.

So as we move in to official Election Day there are a fair number of severe storms rolling east.

If there is a real severe breakout or a significant snow storm will they reschedule?

I am not talking about rain or cold etc. as I have voted in those. I am talking about legitimately dangerous conditions.

It’s not unheard of in some jurisdictions for polls to stay open a little later for certain reasons. I’ve not heard of straight up rescheduling Election Day though.

No need to delay or reschedule. Usually the Dems find a ‘reason’ to keep voting open just a bit longer in a few urban areas. It’s just another way they game the system.

Voting seems rather easy to me, plenty of ways to vote early in most places.

I have never heard of elections being cancelled due to weather.

With early voting, there is no true election day in most states. If you don't have sense enough to know there is a possibility of severe weather and get your vote in in the month or so before, well...

Rescheduling election day? I believe that would take an act of Congress.

Thread drift...

What if these Antifa loons tried to block traffic at polling places? Especially in the areas where past history has shown LEO's are told to stand down?

It would be an epic yootoob.
And would not bode well for the grease spots.

Majority Amercans would not feel sorry for them.
