Drive-in voting set up for quarantining Italian MPs ahead of ballot to choose new president

Description

A drive-in has been set up behind the Italian parliament to allow Italian MPs and regional delegates who are isolating or in quarantine due to Covid-19 to vote for new president. Italy's parliament starts voting Monday for a new president, a process that could take several days and, with Prime Minister Mario Draghi tipped for the job, risks destabilising the government.

  • Ignoring The Truth, Trump Insists Election Results Will Be Called On The Same Day

    A record-shattering 100 million Americans cast their ballots in the 2020 general election before polls opened Tuesday. CNN reports the millions of mail-in ballots are expected to lead to a delay in the counting of votes once the polls close. Nevertheless, President Donald Trump has continued to falsely claim that the count is supposed to be completed by Election Night. His stance is politically beneficial because more GOP voters are expected to show up on Election Day, while more Democrats are expected to vote through the mail. Even before polls opened on Election Day, both presidential camps were gearing up for legal confrontations. The changes to voting rules due to the pandemic sparked a litany of court cases over rules related to voting and the counting of ballots.

  • Court To GOP: No, You Will Not Invalidate 127,000 Texas Votes

    Republicans in Texas faced another setback on Sunday in their attempts to stop votes from being counted. CNN reports the Texas Supreme Court denied a petition by a group of Republicans seeking to invalidate more than 120,000 drive-thru votes in Harris County. It's the second time in recent weeks the state Supreme Court has blocked attempts to dismantle drive-thru voting there. Curbside voting in Harris County is limited to voters with a disability and is located at all polling sites. However, ten of Harris County's 120 early voting sites are drive-thru locations. The drive-thru voting locations are open to all voters. The latest state and federal challenges argue that drive-thru voting violates the US Constitution, which says state legislatures decide how elections are run.

  • Texas Moves To Close Multiple Vote Drop-Off Locations

    Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered multiple drop-off locations for mail-in ballots across closed. CNN reports that the move has caused fears that President Donald Trump and Republicans want to suppress the vote in Texas. On Thursday, Abbott limited drop-off points for mail-in ballots to one site per county. The move seems likely to disproportionately affect minority voters in a troubling echo of racially motivated voter suppression tactics of the past. Abbott argued that his declaration was vital to ensuring the security of the vote.
