The early voters are marked as having voted, this makes it easier on the ground campaign, when you bank your vote that gives the ground crew a notification that you have voted and they can focus on making calls and knocking on doors to those who haven’t voted yet. It’s also apparent they are expecting disturbances on actual Election Day as well as long lines. Every single vote will matter in this election, better bank your vote early!
I'm worried about how my "banked" vote will be stored for a couple of weeks. Will it be on a sheet of paper or an electronic tally? Somehow a janitor could simply toss a bunch of paper ballots into an incinerator by accident or a tech head could hit a wrong keystroke and erase thousands if not millions of banked votes. See where my mind is wandering to?
