Saturday be the last day for early votin’, but there be low turnout, with only 13,476 scallywags castin’ their ballots early out of 1.2 million registered voters. Aye, a constitutional amendment in 2022 saw 60% support for early votin’, and now there be 14 days of early votin’ fer the general election.Stephanie Thomas, the Secretary of the State, be callin’ it a historic moment, sayin’ there be more opportunities fer people to vote. Some Republicans be worryin’ about security, but Peggy Roberts, a Republican registrar of voters, be sayin’ the rollout be secure and organized. When a scallywag casts an early ballot, they be marked in the Centralized Voter Registration System to prevent cheatin’.Despite concerns about cheatin’, Republican voter JoLynn Brochu be votin’ early, fearin’ Democrats be takin’ advantage more. Only four states be holdin’ out on early votin’, with Delaware havin’ it ruled unconstitutional in February. Aye, the times be changin’, and early votin’ be settin’ sail in Connecticut!
