Saturday is the last day to vote absentee in person in Virginia
BY SUSANNAH CLARK Tomorrow is the last day to vote absentee in-person for the 2008 presidential and general election. All local registrars' offices will be open for a minimum of eight hours tomorrow for in-person absentee voting. While Virginia does not have an "early voting" option, local registrars have been encouraging students, senior citizens and commuters to vote absentee in an attempt to ease the big crowds expected Tuesday. "I would say that voting absentee is actually the best time to vote," said Sharon Persinger, registrar for Stafford County. "Tuesday should be crowded all day, not just during rush hour." Despite rumors circulating that absentee ballots are not counted if one candidate appears to be winning by a large margin, the Web site for the State Board of Elections confirms that all absentee votes will be counted on Nov 4 at 7 p.m., after the polls have closed.
