According to the Daily advertiser, Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin proposes a rollback of voters to cast an absentee ballot for the November election.
“Ardoin’s new plan will only allow a release of COVID-19 for someone who tests positive for the infection during and after early voting, but before election day. That will fall under the existing excuse for ‘hospitalization’ for an absent vote. , “reported Greg Hilburn. “In the previous plan, voters could get a COVID-19 absent vote if they were quarantined, had symptoms, were under an isolation order, were at higher risks with underlying circumstances than were caregivers for others.”
The new rules will depend on someone who can get a test and positive results within the time frame. It will also leave vulnerable populations that are at high risk for complications of the virus but do not actually have it.
“While the changes will meet opposition from Democrats, Republicans who are close to supernaturalists in both the Louisiana House and the Senate have indicated they will run for the Nov. 3 election and Dec. 5 election. “said the report. It will also require approval from Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards, who urged the more extensive exemptions to remain.
