What is your method of voting this election?

[Andrea]

What method are you using to vote this election? Is it your preferred method or the only thing available to you?

I voted by mail over a week ago. I prefer going to the polls on election day but I don't want to take the chance of having something come up that would keep me from getting there, so I vote by mail.

In the past I have walked to my polling place with my honey on election day and picked up an I Voted sticker, just because. :)

[Medusa]

I did early voting about a week ago because I knew I would be traveling during the actual election day.
I wish they would release real-time results as they count early and mail votes!

That would be interesting but I would be concerned that those results would influence how or if poll voters vote.

I can hear, in my head, people saying oh that person is already winning so I don't need to vote.

Or look how far ahead the person I was going to vote for is. I will write in Mickey Mouse for the fun of it.

My Kasey does a mail-in ballot, because even though you are allowed by law to leave work and vote, there is not always a convienient time. If she can take the time on election day she goes with me and drops it in the box, or in California, a spouse may drop it in the box for you. I go to the polling place on election day and cast my ballot.

I have voted in every election since I turned 18.

[clay]

Normally I go to polls, and do the handicap access booths but this year, I chose to do a mail in ballot. Is done & mailed in..couple weeks ago!!

I am with Hillary...ALL.The.Way!!!

[Chad]

I always early vote at the community center.

[Zimmeh]

I voted early at the public library.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Voted early today at city hall. In and out, no lines.

ETA: This was the first year Massachusetts had early voting.

[Cin]

Absentee ballot. I voted for Obama this way in both elections and now I voted for Clinton this way. Hopefully the next election I will be able to walk over to my neighborhood polling place.

[easygoingfemme]

Going to my neighborhood polling place with my daughter. We always go vote together. (She's furious that she's 6 months shy of being old enough to vote this year)

[deeds]

My method of voting has been the same since I was ten I send a prayer thru the air to heaven that it's creator's will,will be done, it's yet to falter as a sure fire way to win:freetoaster:
Peace to all this election holiday.

[Jesse]

I voted by mail a couple of weeks ago, and just checked yesterday online to make sure my vote has been tabulated.

[Orema]

Mail in. I brought mine with me and am going to fill it out this afternoon. Mail-in voting is my preferred way to vote though I intentionally went to the polls in 2008.

(California mail-ins voters should remember that two forever stamps are needed this year because the ballot is larger than usual.)

[dark_crystal]

I am sitting at home waiting for Mr. Jenny to get here bc we are supposed to go to early voting at the Multi-purpose center

It ends today at 7pm

WHERE IS SHE

[Kätzchen]

I turned in my ballot personally to the county elections office, two days ago. Interestingly, I was asked why I haven't voted in the last few elections. Not surprised at all by the awkward inquiry, I offered the suggestion that they review how votes are counted because a) I showed them my proof of registration by phone, b) that I always turn mine in personally, and c) that I'm actually have always been registered as an independent, but switched to Democrat status to cast my vote for Sen. Sanders last spring, and finally d) told them that I chose to track my ballot this time because I too have wondered an awfully long time if my ballot was ever counted.

Should be interesting to see by tracking device if my ballot votes were counted.

[CherryWine]

I'll be taking a short walk to my polling place first thing Tuesday morning to cast my vote. I've always voted at the polls.

[C0LLETTE]

As a Canadian, it will be a spectator sport for me. But I do have a favourite lol

[CherylNYC]

Voting after work on Tuesday.

[ksrainbow]

I will vote on Tuesday, at my polling site. Every 4 years I stand in line to cast my vote.

I have always voted in person at the polls on election day, but this year has been different.

A few months ago I moved to Ohio from California. In California you don't need identification to vote; in Ohio you do (which is total BS in my opinion). I have not yet gotten an Ohio driver's license and my utilities are in my landlord's name, so I don't have any documents proving that I'm a resident of my new state.

I figured out a loophole though. I registered to vote using my social security number and applied for an absentee ballot. My ballot came in the mail a few weeks later, I filled it out, and then I dropped it off in person at the board of elections. I am an official Ohio voter (and all without Ohio ID)!

[cathexis]

Partner and i always walk to the polls on Election Day to gladly stand in line

with thanks to those from years past that made/protected our rights to vote

freely!

Thank you Veterans and to anyone who has served as an elected official!!!



I too have voted each Presidential election since age 18 starting in 1976 (and most mid-terms).

[~ocean]

I will vote on Nov.8th....... and I never tell who I am voting for unless I am campaigning for a candidate.

[Liam]

I vote by mail, my ballot was sent two weeks ago.

[Blade]

I have voted in every election since I was 18. I voted last week and normally.

[Gemme]

The first response I had was 'using logic and sanity' but that's not what you meant.

:blink:

I will be voting on The Big Day. My polling location is at a school this time. It will be interesting to see how they process things as I used to volunteer at the polls in FL.

I am being paid for my actual time at work plus holiday pay. Go, Rhode Island!


That would be interesting but I would be concerned that those results would influence how or if poll voters vote.

I can hear, in my head, people saying oh that person is already winning so I don't need to vote.

Or look how far ahead the person I was going to vote for is. I will write in Mickey Mouse for the fun of it.

There's about 100 or so people in a town nearby that are writing in the name of the former mayor. I get that they want to vote their party but don't want one candidate but I feel, that in THIS election of all elections, this is NOT the time to be shitting around. It's a nice gesture but it's wasting their vote. Of course, it's their vote to waste so there's that but still....I'm befuddled.

[Wrang1er]

I went and voted early today. The lines were long but everyone was friendly. I normally just go to the polls but I wanted to get it over with.

[Andrea]

*Bump*

Would love to hear from more of you what your method of voting this election is and if that is your preferred method or if something else is.

[firegal]

I dropped my absentee ballot at a drop box days ago....
it was full of so may initiatives and referendums,i had to do some home work.The presidential election was the easiest choice.

[Andrea]

Text. (joking).

And how does that work out for you ? :)

[MsTinkerbelly]

I'm going as soon as the polls open Tuesday and I'm wearing white in honor of the suffragettes that fought and died for my right to vote.

I am going to a church to vote...the same one used in the primaries. Anyone who knows me in person knows I am exactly like I post here...I hope no one tries to block our votes, because there will be heck to pay. :pirate-steer:

[BullDog]

I will be voting in person on Tuesday!

We do have the early voting option here, but I would need to go to the next town over and I prefer to vote in my little town here. I have also voted by mail when I lived in Oregon. That is convenient but I much prefer to vote in person.

I'm glad there are lots of options available and people are planning ahead to make sure their votes count!

[Venus007]

I early voted last week

[JDeere]

Voting tomorrow morning. Actually going to the polls this year instead of absentee ballot.

[Kätzchen]

Andrea??? Did you see in the news today that Stacy Abrams made a huge announcement at a rally in Las Vegas (I think) at a Labor (Union) convention?

Abrams multi-million sponsored initiative is called: Fair Fight 2020.


"The project will fund and staff voter protection teams in battleground states across the country ahead of next year's elections" (Article LINK (https://www.newser.com/story/279104/stacey-abrams-announces-her-next-move.html))
(excerpt from news article I found on the Newser website @ www.newser.com).

[Kätzchen]

Bumping Andrea's Voting forum thread, again:

Here's an article which is currently featured on CNN, concerning voting issues American citizens face -- each election -- and in this case, the article focuses on a South Carolina city, Ashville.

It's horrible, what the GOP has done for years and in particular, this article is not exhaustive in it's claims about gerrymandering of districts, not to mention whole states (Idaho, for instance) in the contiguous continental United States, where Republican's have maintained a strangle-hold politically.

I hope Stacey Abram's voting initiative has been active since her Las Vega$ announcement, but my inner radar tells me that the GOP's efforts to take over American politics and government to make sure everyone bows down to their agenda is only going to get worse, until people demand that they be held accountable and vote them out of office.

It makes me furious when I read articles about how the GOP is at the bottom of every cesspool act in our governing agencies.

Article Link is found ~~~>>>>>>> Here (https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/23/opinions/gerrymandering-voting-districts-america-daley/index.html).

[Kätzchen]

I voted today and filled out my mail in ballot for every democrat who is either an incumbent or is on the ballot to be elected to office.

I will be taking my mail-in ballot directly to the county elections office, personally, so I know my ballot will be counted.

<<<<<~~~ does not trust the mail service (USPS) still to this day.


:vigil:

[nhplowboi]

I will vote at our town's polling station, in person, as I always do.

[Orema]

I have an absentee ballot but will vote at the poll up the street. I’ll take my ballot along to remember how to vote for the local judges, council members, and propositions I’ve decided on.

[clay]

Mailed my ballot in couple weeks ago!!

Has been accounted, counted, & tracked!!!

[Blade]

Voted in person Wednesday

[Gemme]

I'm an 'in person on the day of' kind of girl.

[cricket26]
