Jeanine: I found myself circling S46 & S48 this morning while I was reading the VLCT Weekly Legislative Report also. Re: S46, mandatory opening at 7:00 a.m. seems harsh. The Board of Civil Authority already has the authority to establish what time the polls open. Each Town is different and has different needs. As far as being required to automatically mail absentee ballots to all registered voters is a very cumbersome, not to mention costly, requirement. As it is now, every registered voter never participates at any election. Re: S48 registering at the polls. I echo your sentiment that unless the various sites are connected it could become a vehicle for voter fraud.
