Satellite early voting sites in Richmond unlikely to open before Oct. 17
Del. Betsy Carr, D-Richmond, said in a letter to the city electoral board that state lawmakers last year voted to allow early voting to ease the electoral process.
"Instead, this snafu with Hickory Hill has complicated my constituents’ ability to exercise their constitutional right." Carr said in the letter. "Citizens already experience many barriers to voting – transportation, COVID-19 precautions, work, childcare, etc. – so it is disconcerting to see another voting avenue limited unnecessarily, with little public communication and at the last minute."
"Instead of simplifying and expediting voting, this has complicated it for Richmond."
