Legal Challenges Predicted on Election Day

Early voting is at record highs this election year. Experts are predicting long, snaking lines on election day. And with what is predicted to be a record breaking voter turnout, will come a lot of legal challenges.

If the race is close, and with a huge turnout, lawyers from both parties will undoubtedly be filing challenges related to provisional and absentee voting, the expertise of poll workers, the efficacy of polling machines, and the hours of operation at poling stations.

The concern, according to Edward B. Foley of Moritz College of Law at Ohio State University, "is whether the infrastructure can handle the volume that we will see."

If polling stations can't handle the high voter turn out then there will be major questions raised concerned with fraudulent voter activity - this was the case in 2000 and 2004.

Polling issues will only be a concern if the election turns out to be a tight one. This is why we need to make sure to give Obama a landslide victory. Get out and vote on November 4th.
