re: I’ve just been mulling over the 2024 election…

A firm deadline for AB should be adhered to. Every AB received s/b tracked coming and going as it is in my state eliminating duplications. Same goes for in person voting, if you have an A next to your name on the official voter registration list, you don't get to vote again, period. As for observers, the public is allowed in the voting area for the final results, however, in our case it makes for a noisy, chaotic scenario when we are trying to tally up results and complete official documentation.
