Election officials in Georgia, North Carolina, and Florida are facing challenges in ensuring voters can securely cast their early ballots in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The devastating storm has left some areas without power, water, and cell service, impacting the electoral process.
In response to the difficulties caused by the storm, officials are exploring various solutions to facilitate voting in the affected counties. These solutions may include setting up additional polling places, extending early voting periods, and simplifying the process of dropping off mail-in ballots.
