It has nothing to do with 2019. The only thing that changed is now you no longer need to specify why you want to early vote. Before that you had to state that you would be traveling or at work or something similar on election day to vote early.

We also voted absentee in person yesterday and in my little rural county there was a line at the registrar.

In VA, you had to have a damned good "excuse" and for practical purposes, it was nonexistent. lagomorph777 Sep 2020 #5

The changes are major and real. I was not going to take chances and lie in prior years. lagomorph777 Sep 2020 #7

I agree that it will make it much easier. drray23 Sep 2020 #8
