Challenges and Innovations Mark 2024 Election

The 2024 election season has underscored significant challenges and innovations in voter participation, with many, including disabled and minority voters, facing long lines due to polling place closures and stricter ballot deadlines, as highlighted by a recent court ruling in Georgia. Student engagement has been notable, with active participation in Milwaukee and Franklin & Marshall College driven by issues such as women's rights and environmental concerns. Mock elections at schools like Trinity Classical Academy and USJ are fostering early political awareness among younger students. Registration issues for voters like Jessica Chabre in Lake Charles emphasize the need for verifying voter registration. In Virginia Beach, Election Day operations were managed effectively, demonstrating smooth election management practices.
