The recent news about Hurricane Sandy should be of no surprise to those of us on the East Coast. The record-breaking storm hit the Carolinas, DC, New Jersey, and New York City. So the question comes to mind, will we be able to vote next week if the East Coast is horribly impacted?
According the U.S. Constitution, all 50 states must vote on the same day. So Congress has to issue a rescheduled Election Day if Tuesday turns out to be a no-go for the East Coast.
However, fear and panic has not stopped many patriotic citizens from coming in troves for early voting pre-disaster.
The latest in the electoral votes? Obama is ahead.
Predictions on the storm? So far, power outages could last until Sunday, November 4th, but that can’t be said with certainty.
