“It’s not nearly enough money,” [Chancellor’s Professor] Richard Hasen, an election law expert at the University of California, Irvine, told Newsweek. “This is a start, but much more will be necessary.” … “Every state is going to have increased absentee balloting, even if things ebb a bit with the virus. We know costs are going way up. Absentee balloting is more expensive in terms of scanners, employees checking ballot envelopes and other costs,” Hasen noted.
