After Nebraska held its first-ever election with more people voting early than on Election Day, an outside group that monitors the stateâs elections said voting by mail, voting early in person and voting at the polls went âremarkably well.â
Civic Nebraska found mostly typical hiccups, including Election Day voters visiting the wrong polling places. The groupâs post-election report mentions, for instance, that some voters in the Omaha suburbs got confused by which of several nearby polling places was theirs.
The group enlisted observers across Nebraska and said they witnessed few problems and saw no voter intimidation. One exception: some national calls telling people to stay safe, stay home and donât vote.
