House Democratic leaders on Friday sent a letter to election officials in four swing states expressing concern about potential problems in November’s election.
“Problems during this year’s primary elections — including closed polling places, long lines, and poll worker shortages — raise concerns that some states may not be prepared to ensure every eligible voter can freely and safely cast their ballot in the general election,” said a letter from House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C., and House Administration Committee Chair Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif.
The CDC guidance advised election officials to “consider increasing the number of polling locations available for early voting and extending the hours of operation” and to “maintain or increase the total number of polling places available to the public on Election Day to improve the ability to social distance.”
The letter also asks each state for “current projections of the number of drop box locations for the general election, including all projections by county and precinct.”
