Six Early Voting Locations Open to Onondaga County Voters Starting Saturday – WAER
Democratic elections commissioner Dustin Czarny says they’ve tried to make the sites as accessible as possible.
“We pickled sites that are North, East, West and South in the county and one in the north side of the city, one in the south side of the city, to try and get these sites as close to the population centers and also some of the rural voters as well, to get people to travel as little as possible.”
Republican elections commissioner Michele Sardo agrees.
“We wanted to make sure (sites) were spread out throughout Onondaga County and that it’s demographically spread out,” she said. “There are sites in the towns and ones in the city. Anyone can vote with early voting at any of those sites. If you’re coming home from work, you can stop at whatever is closest to you.”

We are using everyone we can and we have backups right now. We need extra people this year because of COVID-19. We have to make sure we are cleaning, staffing and making sure we have six-foot social distance. So, that requires extra people to help us out with that.

Zoom with Czarny: Scotus Sunday with Thomas Keck
I last spoke to SU Professor Thomas Keck just after the death of Justice Ginsburgh about a month ago. I felt it fitting to bring him back now that we are on the verge of the Amy Barrett nomination to the Supreme Court and get his perspective on what we know about her as a jurist and what Democrats should consider doing if indeed this nomination succeeds. Enjoy.

Onondaga County Elections Commissioner Dustin Czarny said nearly 50,000 out of the 120,000 absentee ballots he expects to get in the mail have already come in.
He’s still concerned with the board’s ability to afford all the extra work needed to process those votes, saying they could use more state funding.
“We’re having to basically throw money and bodies at the situation to try to help ourselves,” Czarny said.
